Growing Hope

Synopsis

Tracy Parow is the executive director of Providence Farm, a therapeutic farm community for people living with diverse mental abilities, age-related illnesses, brain injuries and developmental challenges. Through her work, Tracy has become acutely aware of how diverse mental health diagnoses can be, but nothing could prepare her for experiencing one first-hand. In 2018, Tracy experienced a violent and traumatic incident that left her with acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Now, with the help of a diverse care team, Tracy must cope with her own PTSD while preparing Providence Farm for a second wave of COVID-19 with half the usual staff. Every day is a new struggle, but the community is resilient, and hope grows right alongside the garlic, squash and apples.
