Mental Health Awareness Week
10th May - 16th May 2021
Are you experiencing stress at work, worried about family or health, or feeling lonely? Whatever your situation may be, it is important to make positive steps towards a healthier, happier, you.
What you can do
One simple thing which can promote good mental health is connecting with nature. Studies show that being close to nature can improve mental health, help you feel less worried or anxious, and help you experience positive emotions.
Find the time to go out, enjoy a park, stroll by a lake or river, or do some gardening. Or, if it’s hard to go outside, open a window and observe nature, listen to the bird song, and have a go at some indoor planting.
To help inspire you, click the link below to our Woodland Wellness posters which show our 5 Steps to Wellbeing to achieve a:
Healthier, happier YOU
Healthier, happier ENVIRONMENT
Healthier, happier COMMUNITY
What we can offer
Follow the link to our Hill Holt Wood Health programme below to see how we can help you achieve better mental health, and how to get involved in some of our ongoing projects, listed below.
