Another farm-based therapeutic community, in Canada: http://www.newleaf.ca/ "We are a rural therapeutic community for dual-diagnosed adults. Our residents must be clinically diagnosed as developmentally disabled. They are also diagnosed as having other problem(s), e.g., psychiatric, emotional, behavioral, physical or social, which would, and do, preclude their admittance to the “usual” group homes for the developmentally disabled. That is: New Leaf is not meant for everyone but provides an alternative for those disabled who, because they cannot comply with, or fit, the expectations of most group homes, are in danger of being moved from home to home or perhaps institutionalized." ************************* Dr. Craig Fees Institute for the History and Work of Therapeutic Environments "Designated a Research and Study Centre of the University of Birmingham" Web-site: http://www.ihwte.org.uk Phone: 44 (0) 1242 620125 Surface address: Planned Environment Therapy Trust Archive and Study Centre Church Lane Toddington Cheltenham Glos GL54 5DQ United Kingdom
