In a tech-dominated and global environment, we humans are losing our key connections. Our children grow up increasingly disconnected from natural systems, natural processes, and each other, stifling their happiness, compassion, creativity, and sense of Self. Having fallen into the same trap, the adults around them struggle to pull themselves and their young charges out of the mire.
Even constrained by mandates, budgets, and time, we can turn the poor health and academic outcomes for youth and schools by readjusting perspectives and approach.
Explore Nature By Nurture, LLC helps decision-makers in education and parks industries to retain educators and restore mental health and wellness to staff and students. We partner with you to create a culture and environments for learning that address YOUR community’s needs, and that ultimately lead to happier, healthier, more engaged staff, students, and families.
