Communities Advancing Recovery, Empowerment, Sustainability
At CARES.green, we believe that healing ourselves, healing our communities, and healing the Earth go hand in hand. Our mission is to connect people with sustainable, community-driven spaces that support wellness, regeneration, and personal advancement. We strive to uplift the change-makers—care farms, mutual aid networks, climate stewards, and local innovators—working to build a world where people and planet thrive together.
Research shows that community-based interventions and nature therapy are some of the most effective solutions to mental illness. Yet, so many individuals are struggling in isolation. Getting bogged down by overwhelming bureaucratic processes, short, expensive or infrequent therapy sessions, endless medications, possibly even turning to unhealthy or disassociative coping mechanisms.
That's why CARES.green (Communities Advancing Recovery, Empowerment, Sustainability) is committed to building access to community- and land-based mental health care; building a one-stop digital space promoting and proliferating sustainable, community-based mental health care initiatives. Our aim is to coordinate the development of a sustainable, healthy and joyful society.
Our Philosophy
Our fundamental philosophy is that sustainable wellness requires three points of healthy connection. The quality of our connections is what drives our sense of wellness:
connection to self
connection to community
connection to ecology
Our public benefit corporation and 501(c )(3) nonprofit act as two hands to one heart (each with it's five "branches of action"). While differing in tasks and roles they operate in coordination to achieve our mission of promoting and proliferating nature-, community-, and self-connected wellness and health.
