What’s the training about?

This Introduction to Nature for Health and Wellbeing course will give you the tools and confidence to integrate nature into your work and daily life. You’ll learn:

• How to speak confidently about the benefits of nature
• Ways to champion nature and health in your community
• Signposting guides and opportunities for engaging with nature
• Practical advice and support for delivering nature and wellbeing activities

Who should attend?

This training is designed for health, welfare and social care workers, volunteers, and carers who support adults. However, it’s open to anyone with an interest in promoting wellbeing through nature.

Why it matters

Nature has a proven positive impact on mental and physical health. By embedding nature-based approaches into services, we can help create healthier, happier communities.

This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, with the North East Combined Authority as the Lead Authority.
