Healthy Minds, Hopeful Futures: Women’s Wellbeing & Nature’s Role
A LinkedIn Live Online Roundtable
This World Health Day 2025, join us for a powerful round-table conversation about women’s mental health, safety, and the role of nature in wellbeing.
Women face unique challenges when it comes to mental health, especially in motherhood and other vulnerable life stages. Research has shown time and time again that Nature-based Solutions not only enhance mental health but can also prevent (and treat) mental health conditions. NbS reduce environmental stressors, encourages social interaction, and create mentally supportive urban spaces.
And yet, little is being done to apply the research to support our communities, especially women.
NeuroLandscape is bringing together experts in neuroscience, architecture, urban design, behavioral science, and health advocacy for an open discussion. Together, we’ll be exploring topics that are so critical in today's climate:
- The current state of women’s mental health and wellbeing
- NbS in maternal health, postpartum care, and mental well-being
- Creating safe spaces (physically, emotionally, and socially) for women
- Effective advocacy for women’s mental health and NbS
