The FINCH Study: Forest Schools for Children's Mental Health and Wellbeing

This week in the Research Room we're exploring the world of Forest Schools with Dr. Hannah Armitt and Dr. Rachel Bottomley-Wise. Discover how their project Forest school INterventions for Children’s Health (FINCH) is supporting children's mental health and well-being.

Discover how getting kids back to nature isn't just about fun and games, it's a powerful tool for boosting mental health and well-being. Whether you're a parent, a teacher or just curious about the magic of outdoor learning, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to head outside!
