Restoration from Natural Spaces in Adolescents
Adolescents today experience increasing amounts of stress and deal with more mental health issues and higher levels of mental fatigue than previous generations. Although many practitioners and researchers believe that interacting with or being in nature has positive impacts on health and wellbeing, past research has shown this relationship to be more complex than one might imagine. Teenagers, for example, can have a multidimensional, conflicted, and, at times, negative view of the environment in comparison with that of younger children or adults.
