Nurture in Nature Programme

Description

In recent years, increasing numbers of children and families have faced challenges related to emotional regulation, social isolation, and mental health. It is recognised that children’s emotional wellbeing is influenced by the mental health of their parents and carers. When parents experience stress, anxiety, or isolation, it can affect their ability to support their child’s emotional wellbeing, leading to difficulties in behaviour, relationships, and resilience. This service brief outlines a new programme designed for families of children in Primary 1-4, using outdoor environments to nurture emotional wellbeing through play, exploration, and family engagement. The programme will adopt a whole-family approach, recognising the importance of parental involvement in the development of their child’s emotional wellbeing.
