The Blackthorn Garden Project: Rehabilitation Through Work in the Context of Community Mental Health

Abstract

Blackthorn Garden is a work‐rehabilitation project attached to a general practice. In the first part of this paper, Tijno Voors, Director of Blackthorn Garden, describes its development, its aims and approach to work, its connection with the general practice and the views of its workers. In the second part, Julia Nehring and Robert Hill discuss Blackthorn Garden as a community mental health service and relate this to findings from a two‐year evaluation of the project.
