Introduction to Nature Based Therapy

In this course, Kit Kline, social worker and nature-based therapist, explains how you can incorporate elements of nature-based therapy into your practice, and all the reasons why you should. Using a holistic model containing eight elements of wellness, Kline stresses the interconnectedness of the elements in enhancing wellbeing and suggests ways both to engage nature outdoors and also to bring it indoors. You learn about nature-based mindfulness and nature-based social prescribing, and you hear recommendations for creating nature-including self-care plans for yourself as well as your clients.
