New Leaf is part of Devon Partnership NHS Trust’s Vocational Rehabilitation Service.
Our service has been developed from delivering many years of therapy, training and supported employment to adults living with a mental health condition who are working towards paid employment now or in the future.
Set in a rural environment near Exeter overlooking Exminster and the Exe Estuary, New Leaf offers an opportunity for people to test themselves outside a medical environment, and develop themselves as a "person not a patient" within its different businesses.
But it’s not so much the activity itself - it’s also about recognising the value of occupation in aiding recovery.
By attending you will be:
New Leaf retail plant sales is open every Tuesday through Friday, with two time slots available: from 10am to 12.30pm and from 1pm to 3pm. We're delighted to welcome both retail and wholesale customers. Follow New Leaf on Facebook to keep up to date or contact 01392 823720.
There is something special about New Leaf. All the staff are just so supportive and nurturing in terms of your own recovery. But for me essentially it was during my time there, that I re-discovered my self-worth and conviction, somehting that no medication, nor artificial mind, can ever replace.
