Armena is a very welcoming and enthusiastic hamlet who understands the importance of support for residents to be in the best physical, mental, and emotional health possible. With that in mind, their project developed community events and activities that enhance social connection and overall wellbeing. A community BBQ offered, not only a free meal, but an opportunity for community members to gather and learn about services and supports while supporting local farms, they also helped introduce the community to equine therapy which has several mental benefits. By engaging the community, they are able to intertwine mental health awareness and the impacts on the community.
