Integrating Nature Therapy into Mental Health Services

Overview

Nature Worx is an outdoor experiential program that introduces participants to the restorative, contemplative and healing properties of focused, intentional activity in a natural environment

Participants of this 3-hour, in-person training will learn about the Nature Worx strategies, tools, and frameworks which can be utilized in 1 on 1 or group peer support.  Participants learn how to develop a relationship with the natural world, gain a fresh perspective on their lives and create a sense of connection to all living things and teach these skills to others. The Nature Worx program combines elements of mindfulness, meditation, forest therapy and naturalist interpretation. We go outside to go inside!
