Reconnecting with Nature: Health and Well-Being for Military Communities

Reconnecting with Nature: Health and Well-Being for Military Communities

About This Webinar:

Though the therapeutic benefits of connection with nature are known by some, military communities may not be aware of the health and well-being benefits that can accrue via time spent outdoors. This webinar provides practical information on how military family practitioners can aid their clients in accessing and experiencing the personal and community resilience enhancing attributes of an ecological prescription – EcoRx.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will:

  • Understand the different layers and modalities of nature-based interventions and applications towards wealth and well-being
  • Become familiar with opportunities within existing DoD installations and surrounding communities for military family resilience-enhancing EcoRx.
  • Demonstrate comprehension of the relationship between EcoRx, military family health and well being, and community capacity.

Presenter:

Dr. Keith G. Tidball s the Assistant Director of Environment and Natural Resources for Cornell Cooperative Extension, while also serving on the faculty of the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at Cornell University. Keith has many years of experience and expertise in the area of therapeutic aspects of outdoor recreation and green spaces, and has written extensively on the topic. He is particularly interested in connecting this body of work to military family readiness and military community capacity and resilience. He also leads OneOp’s Community Capacity Building efforts as principle investigator.

A certificate of attendance is available.
