Course overview
Many of us feel the benefits of spending time in nature. But, these outdoor experiences often seem pretty far removed from our traditional occupational therapy work. There's a good chance you've already heard of nature-based occupational therapy, as it is a hot topic in the OT world. However, you might not be aware of the breadth of research available on this topic-and you might be pleasantly surprised by how well nature-based therapy aligns with your OT practice. In this episode, we'll explore a paper looking at the effects of horticulture group therapy on adults with mental health diagnoses. We'll use this research to springboard into a broader discussion on the types of nature-based therapy, the research supporting this type of therapy, and the potential impact it might have on your practice. To guide us through this topic, we'll be joined by nature-based occupational therapist, Laura Park Figueroa, whose enthusiasm for the topic will certainly leave you eager to learn more!
