Outdoor Family Adventuring

I wrote a guest blog over on the Healthy By Nature blog about my deepened relationship with nature and the impact getting outside has had on my mental health and the mental health of my children during this global pandemic. Healthy By Nature is an initiative of the BC Parks Foundation; it was born from the Healthy Parks Healthy People movement and aims to explore and advance the links between physical/mental health and spending time in nature. I am so excited to have had the opportunity to contribute to the blog and I hope you enjoy reading my story!

“Kids are resilient but we are asking a lot of them right now and expecting a lot of ourselves. In the middle of such an uncertain and scary time I did not have much of a support system to lean on. I had to find ways to manage my mental health in a different way while managing my children’s mental health and so, I headed to the outdoors and leaned on Mother Earth.”
