This course will provide you with a foundation of the knowledge, theories, evidence and interdisciplinary research on the important link between nature and human wellness. Throughout the course, you will be introduced to the science of our interconnection with the natural world, and receive an overview of the emerging field of studies indicating the important role nature plays in the healthy development of the whole child (physical, mental and behavioral) and their continued wellness into adulthood. Additionally, participants will learn to identify strategies of leveraging nature’s positive impact on wellness to drive positive changes in policy and practices in schools and communities. 

Registration opens in May, so stay tuned!
