Nature in the Workplace: Professional Self-Care for Healthcare Providers

You’ll learn a person-centred approach for engaging your peeps with nature that:

• builds a therapeutic bond with them

• brightens their mood and mental attitude

• offers sensory, social and creative aspects

• avoids the challenges of a full-on gardening program

• can be done anywhere, anytime, with little to no budget

• is brief and profoundly beneficial.

Originally delivered in the spring of 2021 as a live online presentation for the BC Therapeutic Recreation Association, this training is equally applicable for other healthcare professionals, teachers, and care partners who want to share their love of nature with the people they serve.

For 23 years, Shelagh developed and led therapeutic garden programs for care home residents, while supervising and mentoring many students and volunteers. She taught people with mental health challenges how to grow their own food, collaborated on the design of restorative and enabling gardens, and taught a certificate program for budding horticultural therapists. She’s given 100+ live multi-media presentations and workshops to healthcare, community, and professional organizations.

Vancouver, Canada is her local nature playground, and she loves to travel on the back roads of British Columbia with her husband and their tiny Trillium trailer.

Currently, Shelagh offers online programs and illustrated garden activity signs at www.ThriveWithNature.com
