Green Head Space: Rooting Mental Health Institutions in Place

This project supports collaborative workshops to develop case studies for a larger grant proposal.

This project aims to unite UK researchers and practitioners to develop a Wellcome Trust research proposal focused on the relationship between mental health and greenspaces. This project explores how mental health facilities can leverage their surrounding environments to enhance recovery and well-being, while also creating good practice case studies for knowledge exchange among stakeholders. By conducting a collaborative workshop in May 2024, the team has created an evidence-based framework for connecting mental health services with local greenspaces, ultimately contributing to a grant submission by September 2024.
