Tip of the Week: Go Outside!

The research is clear. Children and teenagers benefit from nature more than any other age group. Nature has a direct effect on the functioning of our immune health, stress levels, resilience, and physical health. Our online learners spend a lot of time looking at screens, so we want to encourage each learner to take a break from screens over the holiday and get outdoors. Take pictures, go for a walk, find a local park, and look for free events that offer time and community outside. Interested in more benefits of nature for children/teens? Click HERE to read more.
