Green Therapy

Mental Health professionals, have been advocating the use of ‘green therapy’ for many years now to improve mental health and wellbeing. Time spent immersed in nature to help those living with mental health difficulties is an important aspect of the services and care we provide here at South West Yorkshire NHS Foundation Trust.

We understand and promote the importance improving the lives of those suffering from common mental health problems like anxiety and depression as well as learning disabilities and that that too much time spent away from green space can lead to chronic stress and other issues.

This is why our Estates & Facilities team work hard all year round to make sure that our outdoor areas are maintained, welcoming and calming for all our colleagues and service users.
