Top Tips for Enjoying Nature and Supporting Mental Health

For the half term this week we can look back to Mental Health Awareness Week which we took part in at the beginning of the month.

‘Nature’ is a superb choice as the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, as there’s clear evidence that getting access to nature is excellent for our mental health. With Covid-19 restrictions beginning to ease, it’s the perfect time of year to rediscover the natural world and give ourselves a calming, uplifting treat. You don’t have to drag the family on a four-hour hike, either – just 10 minutes each day in the garden, in the local park or your nearest green space could really help. Here are 12 suggestions for ways you can benefit from nature … both online and off.

In the guide, you'll find tips such as giving Geocaching a go, ditching your phone and playing sports.
