Prince’s Foundation for Integrated Health, UK
In 2002 Freshwinds became a member of a collaborative, organised by the Prince’s Foundation for Integrated Health. The collaborative work included seminars to exchange and share ideas and experiences to develop integrated health projects throughout the UK. During this time Freshwinds shared its unique approach and expertise in the integrated medicine project. We continue to be an Integrated Health Associate member with the Foundation.

Dr Rhonda T Lee (Vice President), was invited to speak on ‘Freshwinds Model of Integrated medicine’ at the Royal College of Nursing; Complementary Therapy conference, held in York October 2003. The Project was welcomed as new and innovative work. Of special interest was the excellent team work between medical professionals and therapists.

Map West Saturday Club
Another recent outreach initiative is the introduction of complementary therapies at Map West Saturday Club. This is a play scheme for parents and their children with disabilities. As part of this scheme parents and children will receive complementary therapies. In addition, parents will learn about complementary therapies as well as being taught simple techniques, which they can use on their child or family at home. |
