Green social prescribing (GSP) is the practice of supporting people to engage in nature-based interventions and activities to improve their mental health. Preventing and tackling mental ill-health through green social prescribing is a cross-government project that was launched in October 2020. By effectively implementing GSP, the project aims to: improve mental health outcomes; reduce health inequalities; reduce demand on the health and social care system; and develop best practice at a local level. This report focusses on public and clinical perceptions of GSP.
