How nature helps restore us
Spending time connecting with nature is brilliant for our mental wellbeing. It can reduce stress and anxiety, lift our mood and help our minds rest. Based on evidence, we recommend 20 minutes a day to gain the benefits.
Because nature is so good at helping us feel well, we’re encouraging everyone get their daily dose of it. From nature soundscapes and insect-spotting to house plant-potting, we’ve got a prescription to suit everybody. And, while we find new ways to thrive in nature, we might discover ways to help nature out a bit, too.
If you’re concerned that you’re developing a mental health problem, you should speak to your GP or call 111 for advice. If you need urgent help and are at risk of harming yourself or others, call 999 or go to A&E.
