There is a lot of research, and we mean a LOT of research out there that people with good access to natural environments are more likely to have better mental well-being. There is evidence to support healthy doses of nature can:
-Improve cognition and concentration (read more)
-Relieve stress and anxiety (link to study)
-Have a positive impact on depression (link to study)
-Decrease relapse rates
-Milder symptoms of ADHD
*More benefits and studies
Nature-based Mentoring sessions get you away from your office/desk/screen/couch and into the outdoors. Sessions can take place on a trail, at a scenic look-out, a walk-n-talk around a lake, or volunteering at a farm.
Your Nature-Based Mentor can support…
Nature-based mentoring
- For those who...
- ...have their best conversations while walking
