Summary
This video informs about a novel idea in Sweden of supporting rehabilitation of people who are suffering from long-term, stress-related illnesses on farms. The approved, participating farms allow the clients/patients to "exist" by doing the small things that allow the body and mind to use its capacity. Contact with animals is an important part of the process, and overall it gets people involved in activities outside their personal illness and problem environment. The 1'50 video clip shows patients taking part in normal farming activities, and is interspersed with details about how and why this kind of therapy works.
