All important ways to support good mental health. We created this series to think about mental health with a focus on “Connecting in Nature”. There are 7 films with our wonderful headteacher, life coach and yoga instructor, Alis Rocca, who talks about the themes of Connecting in Nature and about how you and your students or you and your family can be in nature and how it can impact your mental health. Transcript And our last tip of the week being out in Nature, doing art in Nature, just going anywhere you can find, outside, in your garden, in the local park or playground and just find sticks and twigs, stones, leaves, flowers... and see what you can create. Remember creativity is a fantastic skill to teach our children, it helps with with their emotional wellbeing, it helps them think outside the box, it helps with their mental health and it's great fun." taxonomy: category: - Toolkit tag: - 'Home Life' - 'Calming Techniques' type: - Video contributor: - 'Alis Rocca' - 'Samantha Wrightson' --- # Tip #7: Art and Culture in Nature [ Home Life ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Home%20Life) [ Calming Techniques ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/results/tag:Calming%20Techniques) [ ![Nip in the Bud](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/themes/nitb/images/logos/round-logo.png) ](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/about-us "About Nip in the Bud") ![Alis Rocca](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/user/pages/06.about-us/02.authors-and-experts/alis-rocca/alis-rocca.jpg) Speaker [Alis Rocca](https://nipinthebud.trilbyhost.com/about-us/authors-and-experts/alis-rocca)team Duration: 0h 0m 38s Published: June 2021 Tip number 7 is all about Art and Culture in Nature Teaching our children about art and culture allows opportunities for understanding human nature, civilisation, tribes and the importance of community.
