DESCRIPTION:The Healing Garden workshop cancelled due to snow earlier this month has been rescheduled to May 1st\, 3:30 to 5:30 pm at a new location: The Downeast Recovery Support Center at 11 Free Street\, Machias.  The concept for this event is a 2-hour workshop on Horticultural Therapy (HT) presented by Elin MacKinnon\, LCSW\, for direct care staff\, program administrators\, educators\, parents and gardeners.  After a brief history and introduction to the profession of horticultural therapy – how it works\, and where it’s practiced – the focus of this 2-hour training will be on how participants can explore\, encourage and support healing garden activities of all sizes in all kinds of settings and with all kinds of people.

For over 15 years she has taught a course to graduate social work students at the University of Maine about the benefits of expressive and experiential therapies with a focus on horticulture. \n  \n  URL:https://www.cccmaine.org/event/the-healing-garden/ LOCATION:Downeast Recovery Support Center\, 11 Free Street\, Machias\, ME\, 04654\, United States CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cccmaine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Healing-Gardens-2019.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Community Caring Collaborative":MAILTO:claurel@cccmaine.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190501T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190501T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172053 CREATED:20190322T212425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190322T224713Z UID:3707-1556709300-1556715600@www.cccmaine.org SUMMARY:Mandated Reporter Brown Bag Lunch DESCRIPTION:CCC is hosting a free mandated reporter training presented by Barbara Koch\, Community Educator with the Washington County CAN Council.  Participants will be registered with the State of Maine and receive a certificate of completion in the mail.
