Green Care is used with people of all ages, and is effective for those with a disability, physical or mental ill health, and those with multiple or complex needs.
In the UK, adults with mental ill health and those with learning difficulties make up the majority of people benefiting from Green Care.
It is also used for people recovering from stroke and head injuries. The largest increases in services in recent years have been in relation to dementia, and for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly ex-services personnel.
