RESONATE: Building individual and community resilience through nature-based therapies
UT contact: Dr. Alexandria Poole (Environmental Ethicist, International Expert Advisory Board)
Summary
Our mission is to bring together important people from around the world who are experts in nature-based therapy (NbT). This includes researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and innovators.
RESONATE will unite these experts with people from different sectors, such as health, environment, economy, and society. We aim to:
- Collect more proof that shows how nature can improve our health and well-being, by demonstrating how nature helps us physically, mentally, and socially.
- Show how people from different sectors can work together to make nature-based therapies that are suitable for everyone.
- Make more people, including the public and policymakers, aware of these benefits and make them more accepted.
- Encourage more use of low-cost nature-based therapies to help make individuals and communities stronger in cities, towns, and coastal areas.
