New Zealand Takes Mental Health for a Row
September 3rd, 2009
There are a growing range of mental health practices combined with mental activities indicated for helping to support and invigorate both the body and mind, and every once in a while a seemingly unlikely combination ensues. Recently, a group in New Zealand has introduced therapy on the water in canoes, a type of treatment that combines the best of psychology, physical education, and the group dynamic to encourage healing and the development of positive personal growth and greater teamwork ability. The program has so far experienced great success.

Sign me up! This sounds like the perfect package for healing. Too bad this program in across the world, would be great to have more stuff like that when I am, I would be all over that!
This sounds great… this kind of an activity will generate curiosity and interest and will encourage more and more people to take up the treatment. People who would not venture out now have a chance to do so with others just like them. Hope a similar thing is done by others in others lands as well.
I once tried canoeing as a child and it was exhilarating! I would highly recommend the experience. All that fresh air and wide open spaces has to be good for you.
I think this is a wonderful idea and hope to see a similar program adopted closer to our own shores. I’m for almost anything that improves quality of life, however unusual or non-traditional the approach.
