Dose of Nature

Dose of Nature is a mental health service. It is clinically led and evidence-based. Its purpose is to improve people's mental health and wellbeing. It aims to do this by increasing their engagement with the natural world. They offer Nature Prescriptions to adults, 17 and older, with mild to moderate mental health issues.

The 8-week programme consists of a weekly meeting with a trained Dose of Nature Guide in a natural space. The Nature Guide will lead activities that engage all senses. They will maximize the health benefits of time spent in nature. In addition to the one-to-one nature prescriptions, there are nature activity groups. They help connect with peers facing similar struggles. They also provide a chance to have fun and learn from each other in nature.
