The Purpose of the Training 

This Bi-monthly online discussion will provide participants with opportunities to interact with interpreters and clinicians in the field of deafness and explore research articles, discuss presentations and apply the online discussion to service provision.

Concepts of Forest Bathing in Mental Health is an introduction to and overview of Forest Bathing and what it is; the history of Forest Bathing; the benefits of Forest Bathing for mental/emotional/physical/spiritual health; and the research behind it. Often people forget to take the time for themselves to ground and rejuvenate and avoid burnout. This workshop includes an in-depth description of what a forest bathing experience consists of.

 

The Objectives of the Training:

• Participants will describe what Forest Bathing is and how it applies in the counseling/interpreting fields.

• Participants will assess the benefits of forest bathing among all disciples.

• Participants will review resources in their home state for forest-bathing.
