Using this framework, GreenME will use a transdisciplinary and mixed-methods approach to identify opportunities, barriers, causal pathways and patterns of in\/equitable distribution of mental health and wellbeing benefits in seven study countries. Solutions and guidelines will be co-created with local stakeholders. These include a EU framework and country-specific schemes for bolstering green care along with an identified community of green care actors, and a training program for nature-based therapy providers informed by empirical evidence. Replicable partnership models and guidelines to design impactful cross-sectorial green care systems will also be developed, with national healthcare systems and local governments amongst the beneficiaries. A higher uptake of nature-based therapy and a general reframing of the green infrastructure functionality will be some of the most significant impacts that this project will generate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Silvio Caputo (School of Architecture and Planning) will be the co-lead on GreenME, a project which will develop ways in which a broader green &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/2023\/04\/25\/silvio-caputo-will-co-lead-on-horizon-europe-grant-funded-greenme-project\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52167,"featured_media":626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13897,9112,282605,256068],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":625,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions\/625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ris\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
