Experimental Treatment
The Nature in Harmony program involves four in-person sessions held at Duquesne University's campus using the outdoor pavilion and community garden with the final session occurring at Frick Park at their Environmental Center located in Pittsburgh, PA, between May and June of 2026. Each session will have a minimum of two principal investigators to lead the activities. Graduate assistants will be at each session to provide additional hands-on support for safety, mobility, and participant engagement. Participants will be instructed to complete carryover activities between sessions: one to be completed together dyadically (person with ABI \& care partner) and one to be completed individually. Dyads will reflect on the experience in their activity journal and share and the beginning of sessions 2-4.
