Nature Connects are pleased to be partnering with Natural Academy to deliver training in their NatureWell approach.  Natural Academy is an organisation based in the UK, near Bristol. The NatureWell approach has been written and designed by them and includes two Level 2 accredited professional development courses, one 4 days the other 6 days, which are for organisations, small and large. The common aim is that they are wanting to develop or enhance their nature based services.   Here is what Natural academy say about their approach:

​

                         'Natural Academy’s team have developed the NatureWell approach from over 14 years of working with people’s health and wellbeing in natural settings. It is rooted in supporting people and nature to recover and flourish together. We offer short professional development training for organisations and bespoke support packages following the training.

We have evaluated and learned what most benefits people’s health and helps them really connect to nature. We have also delved deeply into the evidence, and together with our experience on the ground, have found ways to deliver this approach simply, flexibly and effectively.

As NatureWell expands and develops we are partnering alongside a team of very experienced practitioners and trainers to offer our accredited training, service design and support programme.'
