Building a Nature-Based Mental Health, Neurodivergent, Family focused, Community Haven.

My name is Eleri & this is a project I care deeply about

I’m a single mum of two incredible daughters, both with Additional Learning Needs.

I also live with ADHD, alongside significant and ongoing mental and physical health challenges.

For our family - like so many others living with disability and neurodivergence - the world can often feel loud, fast, and unforgiving.

There are days when just getting through feels like an achievement.

For many years, I’ve worked in a high-pressure career, pushing myself hard because I believed that success and security were the only way to protect and provide for my children.

Like many parents, I made difficult sacrifices - including time with my daughters - to keep everything stable and moving forward.

I thought that if I worked harder, achieved more, and kept going, happiness and peace would eventually follow.

But it didn’t.

In gaining the experience from my career and Living with ongoing mental health challenges has taught me how vital early, gentle support is - long before people reach breaking point.

So many of us are struggling quietly, carrying anxiety, burnout, loneliness, or grief with nowhere safe to put it.

What’s often missing isn’t advice or fixing - it’s space.

Space to talk.

Space to be heard.

Space to sit alongside others without judgement.

What I’ve learned is that what truly fulfils me isn’t titles or progression. It’s helping others.

Sharing lived experience

Teaching practical life skills ️

Craft, woodwork, learning together

Creating calm, welcoming spaces where people can talk openly, or simply exist without pressure.

The one place we have always found calm, regulation, and safety is nature.

Among the trees, the pressure eases.

Nervous systems soften.

Conversations come more easily.

There is room to breathe without being judged or rushed.

Nature doesn’t ask us to mask, perform, or cope - it simply holds us.

This project represents a shift toward a life that finally aligns with my values, one rooted in care, mental wellbeing, and community connection.
