Children, Youth & Families Emerge from the Pandemic with Better Mental Health

Over the past 2 1/2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent social isolation and self-quarantine, feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and trauma have increased to unprecedented levels, according to WHO and CDC.

UBA has helped children, youth, and their families living in urban communities mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic and emerge with better mental health by being in nature.

According to current research, exposure to nature reduced feelings of loneliness by 28% in people living in densely populated areas.

As the pandemic lingers and feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, or stress persists get into nature. It may be just what you need to maintain good mental health.
