This Mental Health Fix Is Free, Natural, and Probably in Your Backyard

Nature-Based Activities Show Fast Mental Health Benefits

“Researchers have found that nature-based activities can improve mood and reduce anxiety in people with mild to moderate mental health conditions, in as little as 12 weeks.

The findings come from a UK government-backed initiative aimed at improving mental health care through “green social prescribing.” Seven pilot sites were set up across England, including one in Humber and North Yorkshire—the first to publish results from the national program.

Green social prescribing involves healthcare professionals referring patients to nature-based community activities – such as GARDENING, walking groups, or outdoor mindfulness sessions – as a way to support mental health alongside traditional treatments. While still in the testing phase, early results suggest these program could become a valuable addition to mental health services across the country.”
