Seasons Wellness was created to expand opportunities for people to experience the benefits of nature.
Research on outdoor experiences, nature exposure, and gardening demonstrates profound, life-changing effects on mental health. Participants in these studies have identified positive emotions such as “happiness, gratitude, relaxation, clarity and insight, nature appreciation, challenge and capability, and companionship” (Buckley & Westaway, 2020). Mental health rescue effects of women’s outdoor tourism: A role in COVID-19 recovery.
Many individuals with behavioral health challenges experience a limited supply of these positive emotions. Seasons Wellness helps address this gap by providing additional opportunities for outpatient behavioral health care. With high demand for treatment and limited resources, many individuals fall into a cycle of frequent hospitalization. By addressing behavioral health symptoms through accessible outpatient care before they become emergent, hospitalizations can be reduced and overall well-being improved.
Seasons Wellness is one such resource, offering affordable and accessible care rooted in nature-based intervention.

Nature and Wellness
Seasons
Nature’s inherent resilience, growth, and beauty have mentored me throughout my life.
To know that a seed plunged in decay can grow into something beautiful with proper nurture and even stress, allows me to readily accept my own challenges.
To know that there are many seasons
seasons of resilience
seasons of growth
seasons of beauty
throughout a flower’s lifetime, reminds me that my life will have seasons too.
A time laugh
A time to mourn
A time to dance
Appreciating each in their time.
Finding the strength to look forward to spring.
To our beginning season.
