Etéra helps improve mental health of people by Nature and health of Nature by people
The Problem
Today, over 970 million people experience mental health problems and since the 1970s, a staggering 69% of our planet's biodiversity has been lost.
Unfortunately, these trends are interrelated and getting worse.
Psychologists and environmentalists are sounding the alarm about the growing disconnect between man and nature which negatively influences ours and our planet’s health.
Nature as a Therapy
Yet, there is a solution.
Global scientific research show that 78% of people with mental health issues find profound relief in the outdoors. People who experience psychological benefits from nature tend to care about it more.
Nature enhances mental well-being through a blend of psychological and physiological mechanisms.
It's called Nature Therapy – a therapeutic approach grounded in over 20 years of research into nature's therapeutic influence on our psyche.
Our Perspective
Etéra offers a new vision for the healing of people's and our planet's health.
By blending environmental science with Nature Therapy, we develop programs that address the most common mental health and environmental challenges.
Co-partnering with Nature, we help heal people's mental health wounds using natural systems and guide them on how to reciprocate - to heal the wounds of Nature.
Our purpose is to see nature as an integral part of our holistic health, fostering regeneration and thriving together.
