Chesapeake Mental Health Collaborative (CMHC), the newly launched Center for Nature Informed therapy (CNIT), and Irvine Nature Center have signed a collaboration agreement allowing CMHC licensed therapists to conduct nature informed therapy using Irvine Nature Center’s grounds. The partnership will combine Irvine Nature Center’s beautiful landscape with CMHC’s groundbreaking Nature Informed Therapy to community members to improve their mental well-being by connecting with self, each other, and the outdoors.

As the Deputy Director of Irvine Nature Center, Courtney Sagal shared the excitement, saying “We are thrilled to collaborate with CMHC who share our vision of lifelong engagement with the natural world through environmental learning and green living.”
