Taking place from 10-16 May 2021, the theme for 2021’s Mental Health Awareness Week is ‘Nature and the Environment.’ If the past year has taught us anything, it’s the life-affirming benefits of being outdoors. During monotonous days when it felt like our worlds were standing still, the changing landscapes and cycle of nature were a comforting reassurance and marvel on our daily walks. Whether you’re an urbanite or country-dweller, our workshops below – especially curated for Mental Health Awareness Week, will ensure that everyone has the tools to reap the plentiful benefits and power of nature.
