Exploring perceptions of green social prescribing among clinicians and the public

Exploring perceptions of green social prescribing among clinicians and the public Green social prescribing (GSP) is the practice of supporting people to engage in nature-based interventions and activities to improve their mental health. Preventing and tackling mental ill-health through green social prescribing is a cross-government project that was launched in October 2020. By effectively implementing GSP, the project aims to: improve mental health outcomes; reduce health inequalities; reduce demand on the health and social care system; and develop best practice at a local level. This report focusses on public and clinical perceptions of GSP. Department of Health and Social Care
