Webinar Description:

An initiative of the BC Parks Foundation, PaRx is Canada's national evidence-based nature prescription program that works with healthcare professionals to prescribe time in nature for patient and planetary health. Launched in 2020, PaRx is scaling at a rapid pace with more than 14,000 prescribers registered across the country and support from more than 80 major health organizations, including the Canadian Association of Social Workers and the Social Workers Association of Alberta.
