In our fast-paced technological lives we see a disconnect from the natural world. Obesity, depression, anxiety, and school drop-out rates continue to increase and impact youth at a younger age. Current research shows natural connections – activities in nature and with animals – increases self-esteem, reduces stress, invites creative thinking and problem solving where one feels safe, and gets people physically active.
For many people at any given moment in life, it can be a struggle to get through the day. NCLC helps to restore fundamental life skills critical for life success through our programs with animals, nature, and expressive art activities. Natural Connections promotes life harmony, balance, and well-being through hands-on, innovative, and fun activities.
