Research participants needed! Nature-based therapies and mental well-being
Exploring the understandings of green prescriptions: a Foucauldian discourse analysis
What is the purpose of the study?
The purpose of this study is to explore your understandings of ‘green prescriptions’. ‘Green prescriptions’ are nature-based non-medical interventions such as gardening, physical exercise (walking), bird-watching and other activities that improve mental and physical health. We wish to explore your understandings of ‘green prescriptions’ that may affect your mental well-being and the impact of psychiatric inpatient services on mental health. I am hoping to add to the understanding and wider use of ‘green prescriptions’ for physical and mental well-being.

Everyone aged 18 and over who received or are receiving medical treatment for their mental health issues and had at least one voluntary or involuntary admission to a psychiatric hospital. Your participation would be much appreciated if you choose to take part in this study.
