The Canadian Psychological Association has release a new “psychology works” fact sheet on the benefits of nature exposure.
There are clear benefits of nature exposure. The evidence-base shows how beneficial nature can be for mood, including depression, irritability, anxiety, stress.
This fact sheet tells you how being in nature can help, how long in nature is optimal, and has great suggestions on how to get out in nature. Of course, the fact sheet also outlines how a psychologist can help achieve being in nature more. On way is that many psychologists, including me, are now PaRx prescribers.
