A one-day Symposium which aims to raise awareness of how gardens, and a return to nature, can play a major role in the treatment of mental health and other health issues.
Keynote Speaker, Dr Sue Stuart-Smith from the UK, is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author of the book, “The Well-Gardened Mind.” Her book describes her research into how gardens, involvement in horticulture and a return to nature, can improve a participant’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
Sue will be joined by Australian presenters, Steven Wells (Austin Health) and Tanya Bearup (My Garden Space), both specialists in evidence-based, ethical and person-centred horticultural therapy. A panel discussion with all 3 speakers will finish the day.
Delegates will be able to gain practical knowledge on how they can apply this drug-free practice to patients under their support and care.
