Nurturing Mental Health: The Power of Nature and the Arts

Nature and the arts are powerful contributors to your wellbeing.

Did you know that 1 in 5 adults in the US experience a mental health condition? The most common include anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. Mental wellbeing is complex, but nature and the arts can play an important role in nurturing your mental health. Spending time in nature and creating art can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve mood, and enhance positive emotions.

At Brushwood Center, we strive to improve access to nature and the arts, so that everyone can experience these benefits.
