Eco-Flourishing and Mental Health: Promises and Challenges
Professor Singh will discuss “Eco-Flourishing and Mental Health: Promises and Challenges”, relating to her work with the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre Flourishing and Wellbeing Theme, a major cross-University initiative to build the evidence-base supporting social prescribing in mental health. They aim to identify key mechanisms driving positive connections between mental health and nature-based interventions and experiences in young people and in older adults. Their work is founded on the principle that ‘flourishing’ connotes good for the individual and good for the planet.
