For many of us, being out in nature makes us feel happier and more relaxed. There is evidence that access to natural space positively impacts people’s wellbeing and benefits people suffering from conditions such as dementia or depression and yet most of us don’t really talk about it when we meet people and complete assessments. This workshop gives practical tips about how we can include nature wellbeing in our conversations with people, what is available locally- many of it for free, and tells the story of how we used the 3 Conversations Model to be really creative when someone no longer had access to their own garden.
