Green Minds

Today on Green Minds’ “The Mindful Environment,” we learn on how the environment can impact our mental health, and what kind of actions we can take each day to positively impact our mental health in the environment that we live in. Listen to a personal story from Abdullah, who was able to overcome struggles with his mental health, and learn about what kind of actions he took to improve his mental fortitude. Also listen to two professors from Calvin University, Psychology Professor Riek, and Environmental History Professor Cunigan, speak on how mental health and the environment are connected, as well as what kind of support options are available in our local communities.
