The Dose of Nature team attended the wellbeing fair at Roehampton University as part of the university's Mental Health Day, joining a range of organisations dedicated to supporting student health and wellbeing.

Throughout the day, we had the opportunity to speak with many students about the important connection between nature and mental health. We shared how spending time outdoors and engaging with the natural world can support emotional wellbeing, reduce stress and help people feel more connected to themselves and others.

We were also keen to raise awareness that young people aged 16–25 can self-refer to Dose of Nature, making it easier to access support when they need it. You can find out more about eligibility and how to self-refer through our website here.

Our stand featured a creative activity where students were invited to design and decorate their own nature-inspired keepsakes. These personalised decorations served as both a reminder and an inspiration to spend more time outdoors, noticing and appreciating the natural world around them. It was wonderful to see so many students getting involved, sharing their creativity and reflecting on the ways nature supports their wellbeing.

Thank you to Roehampton University for inviting us to be part of such an important event. We enjoyed meeting so many students and having meaningful conversations about mental health, wellbeing and the positive role that nature can play in supporting both.
