The Maui Farm Programs
Family Strengthening Program (FSP)
The Family Strengthening Program is
an innovative farm-based residential program serving families who are homeless
or at risk of homelessness due to domestic violence and economic issues. With a
focus on the whole family, the program provides opportunity for daily learning
and application of healthy life skills and effective parenting strategies. The
Maui Farm campus provides a safe environment for the family to rebuild, and to
strengthen their lives.
Working in collaboration with our partners, Women Helping Women and Family
Life Center, the services offered together create a circle of support that
nurtures and guides struggling families through their process of healing,
strengthening, and transition to community-based housing and self-sufficiency.

Experiential Activities
Program
The Experiential Activities program provides
values training and
hands-on activities in sustainable agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry
on the therapeutic farm.
The Maui Farm’s
experiential activities program implements methods and strategies that are
integral to the theory and practices of Horticultural Therapy (HT). HT uses the
cultivation of plants and gardening activities to improve the mental, emotional
and physical health of its participants. HT helps people rediscover their
connection to nature in positive ways that facilitates their personal growth and
development. HT is culturally relevant and benefits the individual as well as
the natural environment and all who are exposed to that environment. The Maui
Farm's Experiential Activities Program has proven to be a promising best
practice model for both prevention and intervention programs.
