ABOUT THE WILD MIND PROJECT

The Wild Mind Project supports the mental health of young people aged 11 to 25 through nature connectedness. We have designed an intervention programme that complements or offers an alternative to one-to-one counselling.

The unique combination of nature, mindfulness and creative activities can provide a real benefit to young people living with stress, depression and anxiety. Importantly, the young people form a network of supportive new friends that will last well beyond the programmes.

The Wild Mind Project’s programmes are fully grant-funded, meaning they are free for young people.

The Wild Mind Project by the Sea

 

Building on the success of The Wild Mind Project, our new project supports young people (11-15 & 16-25) with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ and young people through nature-based and creative activities focused on the coastal environment.

We will learn about the sea, as well as ocean conservation & marine life and coastal foraging. There is also an opportunity to get involved with water-based activities.

The project aims to: improve mental health and wellbeing, develop practical coastal skills, foster environmental stewardship, and build social connections in a trauma-informed, neuro-inclusive way.

Our sessions are small (10 young people in a group) and are relaxed and calm. Young people can opt in and opt out of activities and participate in a way which feels comfortable. It will enable greater engagement with young people, providing local opportunities to Learn, Connect, and Grow while nurturing a deeper connection to the environment.

The programme gave me a structure every weekend, I had something really wholesome and lovely to look forward to every week.

The concept is amazing, the activities are really enriching and really well thought out. The mixture of learning, creating and then sharing was really stimulating to my anxious mind.
