Creative Wellbeing in Practice
Supporting organisations to embed creative, nature-based wellbeing in their work. The Creative Wellbeing in Practice Programme offers organisations a structured, research-informed approach to supporting wellbeing through creativity and connection with the natural world.
Developed through community research exploring the impact of art and nature on wellbeing, this programme enables organisations to build confidence, skills, and sustainable practice within your own teams. Through a combination of training, creative experience, and ongoing support, organisations are supported to integrate creative, reflective approaches into their existing work, in ways that are accessible, adaptable, and meaningful to the communities they serve.
Each programme is tailored to the group, drawing on the Art & Nature Connections framework and shaped to meet the needs of specific populations, including carers, young people, health groups, and community settings.
What This Offers
This is more than a one-off training. It is a supported pathway that allows organisations to:
- Develop confidence in facilitating creative wellbeing sessions
- Embed reflective, nature-based approaches into their work
- Support staff and participants’ emotional wellbeing
- Build a sustainable model that continues beyond the initial training
