- How To
With more people experiencing poor mental health and the health service under severe pressure, community organisations across the UK are exploring new ways to help people heal – through green social prescribing.
In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Janis Werrett, founder of Cynon Valley Organic Adventures in southern Wales, to learn how her project is enabling people of all ages to improve their wellbeing through nature. We hear from a GP, a researcher and a former volunteer at the project, and explore how the initiative works collaboratively with partner organisations to offer green social prescribing treatments.
Listen to Returning To Our Trees now to learn about the incredible impact Janis’ work has had so far; and to discover how nature, community and getting our hands dirty could help us all to feel better.
