The potential of nature is being supported by numerous studies, in physical, social, and psychological dimensions. Exposure to nature has been shown to lower cortisone levels, reducing stress and anxiety. It also lowers blood pressure and heart rate. On an emotional level, motivation increases and the maintenance of a positive mood is prolonged. Contact with nature provides an unfamiliar environment, out of the comfort zone and in the growth zone of the participants, which facilitates the development of new coping strategies and skills in unfamiliar situations.

All these benefits added to bring mental health professionals in our interventions, working from the Nature based therapy approach (Nature based therapy and Outdoor therapy).
