Forest School and SLT | Sustainable Healthcare Networks Hub

I am a 2nd year SLT undergraduate and my choice of research project this year is Forest School and the role of the SLT. I am interested in how outdoor therapy could contribute to the sustainability agenda through encouraging pro-environmental attitudes and empowering clients to be part of the climate change conversation. I think Forest School could be used as a setting for paediatric intervention and collaboration with Forest Schools could help support speech and language development. I wondered if others are having similar thoughts and whether we could connect

Hi again Annabelle. I've been corresponding with Bulletin about putting something in the next issue and they wondered if there is any more information about the NHS intervention in Hackney Marshes?

I love this idea. I am an SLT working with adults so unfortunately can't help but maybe if you post this again under the SLT network you may get even more responses .
