The Wild Mind project is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company.
We support the mental and emotional wellbeing of young people, (including running specific programmes for young people who identify as LGBTQ+) through nature and creative activities.
The unique combination of nature and art can provide a real benefit to young people living with stress, depression and anxiety. There is a dramatic increase in mental ill-health sufferers and a shortfall in resources and support. We have designed an intervention programme that not only that supports youth wellbeing, but connects young people to the natural environment and encourages creative activities at home. Importantly, the young people form a network of supportive new friends that will last well beyond the programmes.
