Nature Engagement: A Treatment Goal for Health & Wellness in Multiple Populations
Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 1:30 PM–3:00 PM PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)
Guided by the literature on the psychophysiological health and wellbeing benefits of nature engagement, this experiential session will make an evidence-based case for intentional nature engagement programming in recreation therapy practice across all treatment settings and populations. Participants will learn how to articulate the evidence-based benefits of nature-based interventions and how to connect them to assessment and treatment planning. Considerations for special populations will be shared, and participants will be invited to practice example interventions.
