This year the theme is ‘Nature’, showing how connecting with the natural world can support good mental health!
Nature is so central to our psychological and emotional health, that it’s almost impossible to realise good mental health for all without a greater connection to the natural world.
According to a study conducted by the Mental Health Foundation, 73% of UK adults said that connecting to nature has been important in managing their mental health during the pandemic, and 49% said that being close to nature helps them cope with stress.
