"Crop cultivation heals you and your family."

On the 30th, the Busan Agricultural Technology Center announced that it will expand the operation of the "Our Family Healing Agriculture Service" as a community service project from March to June.

"Community service" is a system that improves the quality of life for citizens by providing counseling, rehabilitation, care, information provision, use of related facilities, capacity building, and social participation support in various fields such as welfare, healthcare, education, employment, and housing. It was established to guarantee the lives of citizens in need of assistance by the government, local governments, and the private sector.

The Our Family Healing Agriculture Service is a healing agriculture program that guides the healing effects of agricultural activities such as emotional stability, psychological healing, and stress relief, and provides practical help.

Each program is conducted under the guidance of experts qualified as healing agriculturists, and participants experience positive changes while communicating with nature during the healing process.

From March to June, a total of 16 sessions will be held in three courses: ▲Adult Depression and Stress Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service ▲Elementary School Student Child Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service ▲Elementary School Students (Children with Developmental Disabilities and Borderline Intelligence) Child Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service.

The "Adult Depression and Stress Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service" course is a program for adults experiencing depression and stress, helping psychological recovery and stress relief through agricultural activities in nature. Participants experience emotional healing and an improved quality of life through agricultural experiences.

The "Elementary School Student Child Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service" course is designed for elementary school students experiencing psychological difficulties due to academic or family stress. It helps children find emotional stability, relieve stress, and boost self-esteem through agricultural activities. Children can enjoy activities in nature and experience the effects of healing agriculture.

The "Elementary School Students (Children with Developmental Disabilities and Borderline Intelligence) Child Psychological Support Healing Agriculture Service" course is a program for children with developmental disabilities and borderline intelligence.

It helps improve concentration and social interaction through agricultural activities. In particular, customized agricultural activities provide developmental support for children and enhance emotional stability.
