Using nature for health, and health for nature
Nature has a lot to offer for our health and for the preservation of nature itself. At Nature For Health we believe in the power of green to strengthen both people and nature. Whether it is improving the mental health of young people, supporting people on mental health waiting lists or integrating nature into healthcare or the greening of neighborhoods. We work together towards a healthier and more sustainable future for everyone.

Programs and projects
Together with our partners, we put this vision into practice. We do this through programs and projects that have a direct impact. Take a look!
Nature on Prescription
Through Nature on Prescription, Nature For Health stimulates the integration of nature in the practices of general practitioners and physiotherapists. We want to actively bring as many people as possible into contact with nature, but also give something back to nature. We do this together with IVN, Alles is Gezondheid and partners from primary care. This program contributes to the Nature on Prescription campaign of the Collective Nature Inclusive.
The Green Perspective
Within the Green Perspective initiative of the Green Mental Health Care, we are committed to using nature supply for people on mental health care waiting lists, with the aim of strengthening their sense of purpose by giving something back to nature. We do this in collaboration with mental health care providers, IVN, nature therapists, care farms, health insurers, the social field and other green organisations.
Youth, mental health and nature
We contribute to strengthening the mental health and social cohesion of young people by using nature. In addition, we organize walks and other activities for young people, in collaboration with organizations such as Brabant Maatjes.
