Next In person Meeting

21st March 2024

At Nature & Health Practice Network (NHP) we know there are multiple, evidenced, holistic benefits for people's health  when individuals and groups are facilitated, professionally, in natural settings.

​

NHP is about connecting people to nature for their health and wellbeing.  Through  this nature connectedness pro-environmental behaviours are encouraged and therefore greater care & support  for the natural world can emerge. 

 

We have formed a practice network for Green Care, Nature Health and Wellbeing, Eco Therapy and other nature based approaches. This network can be a voice, advocate and professional body for the developing sector

​

This network will:

​

  • Establish some of the key standards and quality assurance needed for partners, funders, commissioners, participants and practitioners to feel that they are offering a safe, effective and professional service. 

​

  • Be a place that supports and encourages practitioners to deliver this best possible service to their communities. 

​

​

Our membership area is here to help you throughout your career, over the next few months we will be adding all of the following features.

 

Membership will include:

​

  • Access to other experts in the field

  • A set of agreed standards developed through consultancy with the members

  • Networking opportunities

  • Access to a forum for discussions and sharing ideas

  • Insurance details and membership discounts (in discussion)

  • Templates for policies and procedures

  • Risk Assessment guidance and templates

  • Examples for funding and funding guidance

​

​

Join us  to help us raise standards across the field and promote health and wellbeing through nature connection.
