Thomas Doherty and Patricia Hasbach will be offering a one day training session on Ecotherapy at Lewis & Clark on April 16, 2010

Ecotherapy expands the scope of counseling beyond family and community systems to recognize the important role that one’s relationship with the natural world can play in health, emotions and identity across the lifespan. Ecotherapy also provides ways for counselors and healthcare providers to utilize nature contacts and connections to promote physical and mental health.

This one-day experiential workshop provides an orientation to the historical background and theoretical approaches associated with ecotherapy. We will also survey psychological research regarding human-nature relationships and conservation behaviors that point to the efficacy of ecotherapy interventions. Participants will learn applications of ecotherapy in counseling & healthcare settings and opportunities for integrating ecotherapy practices into their personal and professional lives.
