Wellesley Institute works in research and policy to improve health and health equity in the GTA through action on the social determinants of health.
There is a body of research that indicates green space provides those living in urban spaces with access to the natural environment and its related benefits. The aim of this scoping review of reviews is to examine the evidence that exists about green space and mental health and provide a comprehensive scan of the vast amount of literature that exists in this area of study.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
