Create your winter wellness toolkit and learn about the healing benefits of nature! It's time to destress!

The aim of the Nature for Wellness Symposium at the University of Michigan is to provide a forum to strategically advance and sustain the university’s Nature Rx initiative through research, technical assistance, teaching, and interdisciplinary partnerships with a focus on promoting the mental health and wellbeing of students, faculty, and staff through nature-based interventions.
