In this webinar, Dr David Roland will address some of the questions we regularly see in discussions about ecopsychology.  Some of the questions he will cover:

• What is ecopsychology and what are some of the areas of practice that come under this umbrella?
• What evidence is there for its efficacy?
• How can you apply ecopsychology in your practice with your clients?
• How can ecopsychology be an adjunctive therapeutic approach and what are its limitations?
• What part can ecopsychology play in preventing burnout and enhancing personal wellbeing for practising psychologists?  Personal practices to enhance your mental wellbeing.
• How to use green prescriptions?

There will also be plenty of time for Q&A and ideas from attendees.
