GreenME

GreenME is a Horizon Europe project that aims to identify ways in which effective nature-based therapy and a broader green care framework can be scaled-up to improve adult mental health and wellbeing equity while contributing to multiple socio-ecological co-benefits. We define green care as a three-scale continuum from nature-in-everyday-life (e.g., the existence of green and blue infrastructure for viewing and walks) to nature-based health promotion (the promotion of active interaction with nature such as gardening and conservation) to nature-based therapy (the provision of treatment for individual patients). GreenME is implementing three phases: 1) to assess the current situation of green care; 2) to produce new robust evidence understand how different aspects of green care relate to mental health and wellbeing equity in various settings; and 3) to develop co-created tools with green care providers to expand green care services. GreenME consortium parters are located in Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Poland, the UK, Belgium and the US.

This group is open to people participating in the GreenME project.
