Outdoor Mental Health Skills

Outdoor Mental Health Skills

This day teaches staff and volunteers how to support people who share personal difficulties with them or are distressed during a walk or outdoor activity. We will look at;

• How the nervous system works and impacts how we feel and behave
• Simple ways to regulate emotions
• How past traumatic experiences can affect people’s day to day experience
• How we can support others to feel better emotionally and mentally

Participants will leave knowing how to talk to and respond to people who are struggling mentally as well as practical techniques with a focus on those suitable for an outdoor environment.

Nature Connection & Eco-Psychology

Are you passionate about supporting  people with their wellbeing and giving them the chance to experience the power of nature ?

This CPD course is designed to help you create more opportunities for people to connect with nature, enjoy moments of wonder, and have a more immersive experience. Rooted in an evidence-based eco-psychological approach, our course will give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to bring accessible elements of nature connection into a range of recreational and educational activities or to create your own simple accessible nature connection session for wellbeing.
