How does being immersed and active in nature help improve mental health?
Paul MacFarlane, Trail Therapy MTB Leader with Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland, chats with Viola Marx the Green Health Partnership Coordinator within Dundee City Council on how green health partnerships operate and her hopes in using mountain biking as part of the process of recovery from periods of mental ill-health.
Viola then turns the questions on Paul where she explores the mountain bike scene including its accessibility in Tayside & Fife and his hopes and ambitions for the Trail Therapy project in Dundee and the wider area.
The Trail Therapy project is supported by NatureScot, Trek and Edinburgh Napier University.
