Community-based interventions for mental and environmental health
I am interested in simple, scalable, community-based mental health interventions to foster resilience among youth. I am also interested in exploring the potential of mindful experiences with nature to foster connectedness to oneself and the environment. I would like to design and test an intervention which incorporates tactile experiences with nature for mental health and pro-environmental behavior.
