Take advantage of nature’s therapeutic benefits with this guide for counselors, therapists, and educators who work with children, youth, and families.
The number of people seeking help for a wide range of mental health concerns is growing at an alarming rate. Unplugging from technology and reconnecting with the web of life is a powerful antidote to the anxiety and stress that tend to exacerbate so many of our mental health struggles.
Nature-Based Therapy addresses the underlying disconnection between humans and their ecological home, exploring theories and therapeutic practices designed for children, youth, and families, including:
- Developing sensory awareness of outer and inner landscapes
- Navigating risk in play
- Case examples with a diverse range of settings, intentions, and interventions
