Abstract
Improving parental mental health and Wellbeing is a necessity, as costs associated with mental illness amongst adults, children and young people continue to escalate. Evidence suggests increasing nature-connectedness can foster personal Wellbeing. However, little research to date has explored the role of nature-connectedness for improving parental Wellbeing, in particular for those with neurodiverse children. The present study investigated whether a Three Good Things in Nature (3GTN) intervention could improve parental Wellbeing and nature-connectedness for parents of neurotypical (NTC, n=43) and neurodiverse (NDC, n=10) children. Wellbeing and nature-connectedness increased over time, regardless of condition. Nature-connectedness increased for all parents. Parents of NDC had lower Wellbeing at baseline and post-intervention. There was no impact of the intervention on Wellbeing for parents of NDC or NTC, but there was an impact on nature-connectedness. The results suggest encouraging participants to take notice increases nature-connectedness. The reasons for lack of a specific intervention effect are discussed.
