4Mile Farm Program Overview
The programs at 4Mile Farm are designed to focus on capacity building, social and community engagement, and relationship development. While most of our work is conducted on a 1:1 basis, tailored to each participant's needs, goals, and preferences, we also welcome other groups to visit and run programs using our space.
Important Notes:
The Confidence Through Competence Program focuses on skills-based learning to help participants develop their independence, engage in community participation, and build self-confidence. This program teaches emotional regulation, communication, and body language awareness through a variety of scenarios, tasks, and projects, all conducted in a fun, safe environment.
The program provides cognitive, physical, and emotional benefits by building confidence through everyday life skills. It is designed to mentor participants and foster relationships, helping them gain trust in themselves and others, while developing the skills necessary for independence.
