Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This narrative review examines nature-based mindfulness interventions (NBMIs) that combine contemplative practices with exposure to natural environments for adolescents and adults. The authors summarize evidence suggesting these interventions may reduce stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and rumination while enhancing resilience mechanisms relevant to climate-related stressors. The resource is intended for public health practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in low-cost, culturally adaptable mental health strategies.
