Flourish: Nature Recovery for people living with severe mental illness (SMI)

Heads On commissioned Recovery Partners to undertake user-led research into nature recovery for people with SMI. The research was intended to directly inform how NHS mental health services incorporate natural recovery into their services, including the new Combe Valley Hospital in East Sussex. The research and resulting report was funded by Natural England and Heads On. 

This is particularly timely due to the development and building of the new Combe Valley Hospital in Bexhill, a new state of the art mental health hospital in beautiful natural surroundings which will replace the existing Department of Psychiatry.
