Lightning Talks

???? A big thank you to the Luxembourg Society of Psychology (SLP) for the opportunity to participate in their inspiring Lightning Talks evening on tools for mental health. It was a privilege to share ideas on the powerful impact of nature on mental health, and I’m thrilled to see the growing recognition of this essential connection. ????

Scientific studies using brain scans show how our mental health is influenced by what we see, hear, feel, and smell in nature. These scans reveal that natural environments activate brain areas related to empathy, emotional stability, and stress reduction, offering significant mental health benefits.

But this relationship is reciprocal: just as nature takes care of us, it is crucial that we take care of it. By integrating the science of nature’s impact into our therapeutic, educational, and professional environments, we can also inspire a deeper respect for our planet.
We have the tools, we have the knowledge — it’s time to bring nature back into our daily lives, making it an essential pillar to support mental health, while caring for nature as it cares for us. ????✨
