Our Mission

Open Sky programs complement the efforts of other professionals, to address barriers and relieve suffering. Through the daily rhythm of care farming, and by learning and practicing independent living skills, day-participants and residents develop habits and abilities that foster a more balanced and resilient life. Vocation and employability are also enhanced. Open Sky provides public education via workshops, trainings, lectures and written information, on issues of mental health and disability. Mental Health First Aid is a core training for staff, volunteers, participants and local citizens, toward wider community mental health strategies and understandings.
