Care-O-Van is an inclusive, place-based mental health service that provides integrative and adaptive therapeutic support to children, adolescents, adults, and care-givers. Located on the grounds of the secluded and family owned, 4 acre AVEC Farm, Care-O-Van specializes in offering purposeful interactions with animals, plants and landscapes with the integration of nature, expressive arts, play, culinary, and movement based therapies.
Housed within a renovated school bus, Care-O-Van is an innovative therapeutic space; a school bus turned into a play, art and experiential therapy office! Step on in, and children and adults alike experience a therapeutic setting informed to cultivate wonder, curiosity, creativity, warmth, and relational safety.
Care-O-Van’s services are purposefully facilitated, paced, and individualized in a therapeutic environment unlike any other. Shaped to each individual’s earnestness for exploration, Care-O-Van’s services are uniquely adapted to offer individually preferred modes of engagement, expression and methods of processing, and designed to create an embodied experience of both interpersonal and intrapersonal safety and connectivity.
