New members to the network, The Visionaries, have recently launched Wild & Well and are looking for partners across the UK to help build a new green social prescribing infrastructure that enables young people to turn to nature to support their wellbeing and mental health. Wild & Well is an adaptable approach rooted in eco-psychology and environmental justice, with aims of creating a decentralised network of facilitators that can equip young people to connect with nature to support their wellbeing and holistic development, whilst learning to participate in the restoration of environmental health to the land in the UK, where we are one of the world’s most nature depleted countries.
Working with partners across health, education and social services, The Visionaries are creating a framework that can be adapted in culturally-sensitive and geographically-appropriate ways for different adolescent audiences across the UK. Get in touch with their Director, Max Girardeau, if you’d like to get involved or find out more.
