Who is eligible?

Through consultation and ongoing assessment, your provider will determine if it is an appropriate option for you to engage in nature-informed therapy at our organization. Protocols are in place for both the safety of the client and the provider. To engage in this service, clients must sign the necessary informed-consent forms and take steps to prepare before beginning.

 

What exactly is Nature-informed Therapy?

Nature-informed Mental Health Therapy incorporates outdoor settings and nature-based activities into the therapeutic setting. Clients are able to reconnect with themselves and their surroundings. Some people may experience an increase in regulation of the autonomic nervous system, reduced anxiety/depression symptoms, improved mood, increased mindfulness, and a sense of higher purpose.

​

What does getting started look like?

Clients must receive a recommendation to engage in nature-informed therapy from the provider through consultation/assessment and sign all required forms before beginning. The client and provider will agree on the day, time, duration, location, identify the terrain and equipment needs, follow safety precautions, and monitor the weather for any weather-related concerns.
