MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE AND HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM
We train groups and individuals on how they can adjust their behaviour to achieve optimal brain health and performance.
Our Beginning
Trading as the Mind Cafe since 2006, Christ Inn CIC has provided faith based Mental and Emotional Health services to the Christian Community in the UK with very favourable outcomes. Recently a new client that has been on Community treatment order since 1997, has been released. She has been making use of our complementary interventions only for the past 3 months. This is one of the many members of the community that we have rescued from the revolving door experience of the conventional Mental Health Service provision.
We provide free weekly workshops where any member of the public can access at lest 2 to 3 of our interventions in each session. We have a unique insight into how High Functioning Autism is most times mis understoood. If it is not diagnosed on time, it can result in untold hardship for many people. We provide screening, diagnosis and life-long support for adolescents and adults living with High Functioning Autism/Aspergers.
“The Scriptures are not the product of scientific investigation or human reasoning. But we can scientifically apply scriptures to bring about healing emotionally, behaviourally and mentally”
— DR. CHRISTINA BROWNE (CO-FOUNDER)
Shabazz had to extend the garden to her front lawn but even then, it wasn’t enough to feed all who wanted to be involved. With neighbors January Blum and Lucas Dupont, Shabazz found a large vacant lot on Main Street and secured it as a farming cooperative. Word about Project Sprout spread throughout Kent County, so the team was invited to help start other community gardens.
Our Mission
Kent County is one of the most severely underserved communities in Tennessee. To combat this adversity, Project Sprout seeks to nourish our neighbors at the most fundamental level with healthy food options and a strong support network. All members get a portion of each harvest and surpluses are donated to low-income families whose work schedules prevent them from volunteering.

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
