Experience #1: Fishing in Vermont

Fishing with new friends

Nil, struggling with mental health and the stress from job searching, reached out to Heal knowing he needed a change.

The team took him on a road trip from Boston to Vermont, taught him how to fish, and hooked him up with all the gear he needed - rod, reel, bait, and fishing license included. He made some new friends and like many others, he found fishing to be an extremely calming activity.

Now, he regularly visits local fishing spots in MA as a therapeutic retreat from work.

"I think it's a great mission they're trying to create here, which is trying to get out of that phase of just being inside and not living."
