Nature-Based Therapy
Nature-based therapy is an umbrella term for several therapeutic approaches that incorporate nature as a key component of the therapeutic process. It is grounded in ecopsychology, and the belief that the reciprocal relationship between a person and the natural environment is a key component to wellbeing.
Research supports that interaction with nature:
Can increase cognitive functions like memory and learning
Improve emotional wellbeing
Decrease stress
Improve immune function
