There is a growing body of evidence to show that being near water, and specifically being close to the sea, is good for our mental health. So, it’s no wonder that many of us are at our happiest on the Coast Path, which is accompanied by the sea for the majority of the 630-mile route.⁣

One positive thing to have come out of the pandemic is that we are all now taking more time to notice nature. This seemingly small act can have a big impact when it comes to supporting our mental health – providing much needed stimulation and connection with the natural world around us.⁣

It’s been an incredibly challenging time for all of us over the past year or so, and since the start of the coronavirus pandemic Devon Mind has seen record demand for its mental health support services. ⁣

Today is the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the focus for this year is nature. The theme was chosen to recognise the critical role the natural environment has played in supporting the mental health & wellbeing of the nation throughout lockdown. ⁣

Tomorrow marks the start of National Walking Month - yippee! 🥳 and to kick things off, we’re delighted to announce we’re working in partnership with @citytosea_ the organisation behind the award-winning campaign Refill.⁣

Climate change is happening right before our very eyes. It’s up to us to #RestoreOurEarth.⁣
