Nurturing awareness in service-users in how nature connection can not only soothe the over-thinking mind but help rebalance emotions is central to the ethos underpinning the running of Wellbeing in Nature sessions. The restorative effects to be gained through nature connection are well recognised and scientifically proven. The provision of meaningful invitations that engage individuals more deeply with nature can foster deeper feelings of connection with themselves, an important step in facilitating awareness about what it is they need.

The full training package for the Level 3 WIN qualification is made up of 3 Units covering the theory underpinning nature connection and wellbeing, practical aspects of Wellbeing in Nature session delivery, together with guidance about sustainable management of natural resources.

Accredited by Agored and developed with recommendations from the NHS, the training includes support to deliver 6 face-to-face sessions to a group of service users.
