About

This week take a deep, centering breath with us while we take a closer look at the proven effects of nature on mental health. Aside from the cognitive benefits (which are vast), exposure to nature also has emotional and existential benefits that are impossible to ignore. We dive into a few studies, and also talk about the different ways to get more nature in your life, even if you're trapped in a sprawling cement jungle. Plus an amazing resource for those looking to get away, unplug, and escape the madness for a moment (or a few).Charity/Non-Profit: Active MindsActiveminds.orgActive Minds is the nation's premier nonprofit organization promoting mental health awareness and education for young adults.
