Health coaching for nature connection
Use this when your client says they don't know what to do/how to be in nature
What you will gain
- Clarity about the convincing evidence for nature in relation to human health & wellbeing - why we MUST understand this aspect of ‘environment” in our ‘person, environment, occupation’ approach as OTs
- Evidence for WHICH nature based interventions are effective for YOUR client group - and a process to apply an ‘OT lens’ when you search for information or ideas
- Confidence in how nature fits with OT scope of practice (and where the boundaries are)
- A framework to describe & support a nature based approach in your work - for your team, clients and organisation
- An understanding that nature in OT is not ‘all’ or ‘nothing’ - it can be ‘small’ and ‘easy’ and you can start tomorrow!
- Excitement about the potential for a nature based program for market positioning for an OT business, and as a tool for employee engagement and retention.
- Connection, community and collaboration with like-minded OTs.
- Ideas & inspiration to help you fall in love with OT again.
- BONUS - A tool to use with your clients immediately to encourage nature connection.
