We all know time outdoors feels good, but what if it could actually heal?

With COP30 spotlighting the importance of nature, especially in our digital world, we're exploring its impact on mental health and wellbeing. From easing loneliness to lifting depression, nature-based interventions are emerging as powerful, evidence-backed tools in psychology.

The lifechanging power of psychology.

We’re proud to share the first film in our Psychology Matters series, celebrating the inspiring work of psychologists transforming lives across the UK.

Through the stories of six BPS members, this film shines a light on how psychology changes lives, communities, and futures.

We hope it reminds you why why we can all be proud of the impact our profession makes every day.

We back the Mental Health Foundation’s call to end Scotland’s public mental health emergency.

Prevention must be at the heart of the next Scottish Government’s approach, ensuring support for children, young people and communities before they reach crisis point.

As our Scottish branch Chair Yana Yaneva says, "a psychological workforce that is 'fit for the future' and backed up by long-term sustainable funding" are essential to make this a reality.

Mental health support must be strengthened before more young people fall through the gaps: https://www.bps.org.uk/news/bps-responds-resolution-foundation-neet-analysis?utm_campaign=PsychMat&utm_source=OfficialBPS&utm_medium=social
