TY - GEN N2 - The mental wellbeing of children and adolescents in the United States has been declining while rates of anxiety and depression in youth have been rising. Improvement of pediatric mental wellbeing is multifaceted and treatment from providers includes a variety of interventions ranging from nonpharmacological to pharmacological. Nature-based interventions (NBIs) are nonpharmacological interventions that can improve memory, cognition, and attention as well as decreasing anxiety, stress, and depression in pediatric patients. Many pediatric primary care providers (PCP) feel under-prepared to help pediatric patients meet their mental health goals. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to improve provider utilization and understanding of nature-based interventions through an educational intervention.
