“…The farm owners continue promoting new forms of activity of their clients who, due to being diagnosed with often serious health and social deficits, require very attentive and responsible care. Although the results of the observations are very satisfactory, at this stage we can only assume that such a form of activation and therapy is more effective than the traditional clinical methods (see Del Sesto 2017).…”

An ageing society has triggered the development of new intervention mechanisms and the engagement of both state and non-governmental institutions. It can be said that, for each group of persons, place-of-residence and social-structure-specific social security models must be designed. In Poland, such innovative actions include the initiative of launching care farms, known as green care. This article presents the results of the current study and observations of the operation of such farms in the kujawsko-pomorskie province. The study mostly involved the use of qualitative methods: interviews with carers, a covert participant observation and the analysis of the opinions of the psychologist coordinating the care farm therapy. The study shows that the idea of green care is quite easily implemented in the rural areas of Poland, with plenty of potential clients and farms which, with sometimes inconsiderable investment inputs, can be adapted to welcome that specific group of guests. However, one must note many barriers, especially a lack of permanent sources of green care financing, in many places a profound distrust of the local community for changes and innovations, and uncertainty regarding the continued care prospect, which can result in an even greater social withdrawal of the clients and an abandoning of the efforts by the carers and farm owners for a further operation to be continued.

“…They felt belonged and attached to school. Leck et al (2013) noted that one social benefit of NBIs is that they bring people with similar situations together making them feel belonged and accepted. Moreover, those who lacked confidence in themselves could develop self-esteem and confidence after accomplishing different nature activities.…”

Precarious situations disproportionately affect the well-being of young people. Social workers are concerned with sustainable ways to improve young people’s well-being, and nature-based interventions are proposed as sustainable solutions. We used a systematic review approach to identify how nature-based interventions can promote sustainable well-being. A literature search generated 1753 results, from which 49 peer-reviewed articles were selected for analysis. Young people in precarious situations (i) had underlying social, emotional, and mental health needs that put them at risk of disengaging from education or employment and (ii) were not in education or employment. The most common intervention was wilderness therapy, followed by animal-assisted interventions, outdoor adventure interventions, horticultural interventions, care farming, environmental conservation, surfing therapy, and sustainable construction. The reviewed literature indicates that nature-based interventions promote sustainable well-being by (i) ensuring that well-being was interconnected with environmental, social, and economic sustainability, (ii) fostering connectedness with nature, and (iii) producing enduring outcomes. We further used the Having-Doing-Loving-Being model of sustainable well-being to interpret well-being outcomes, concluding that nature-based interventions enhance young people’s relationship with society and nature. Implications for social work include collaborating with other experts to implement nature-based interventions to address well-being problems, advocacy for the introduction of nature-based activities into schools and recognition of nature-based interventions as alternative avenues for meaningful participation.

“…Beyond such high-pro le individuals, it's important to honour the important contributions that all neurodivergent people, and people with intellectual disability, can make to both local ecosystems and the planet at large. For example, forms of "green care" may offer a way to reconceptualize the role of people with intellectual disability -not simply as recipients of care, but as active participants in caring for each other and places (Gallis, 2013;Rotheram, McGarrol, & Watkins, 2017). Structured programs and initiatives can help amplify this role, offering co-bene ts for both the planet and individual mental health and wellbeing.…”

Climate change disproportionally affects people with intellectual disability. Despite this, people with intellectual disability are rarely included in conversations about just environmental futures. Using PRISMA-P guidelines, this scoping review maps the academic literature surrounding intellectual disability and climate change. We identified three key themes in the thirteen articles included in our review. First, people with intellectual disability experience heightened risks and barriers during and after natural disasters. Second, they are largely absent from government disaster planning and response. Third, inclusive education initiatives are in their infancy. Overall, people with intellectual disability are not involved as leaders or collaborators in research or practice related to climate change. The literature focuses almost exclusively on natural disasters as opposed to the broader context of the climate crisis. We take a critical lens, reframing the role of people with intellectual disability in climate change discourses: from helpless victims to potential caretakers and advocates for a safer climate.
