For example, they might be supported by their support staff to attend a programme internally (if one has been developed), or they might be directed to an existing programme external to the service by staff or external healthcare professionals. Regardless of pathway, this guide has been designed to help service staff, support workers, referrers (those directing participants to programmes), link workers (those supporting or 'linking' participants onto programmes), and/or other people working with potential participants, to build trust and engagement (‘buy-in’) for greenspace programmes, particularly for those unsure about them. It also provides insight into key considerations when signposting or ‘referring’ participants to programmes (whether internal or external groups). 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z Guidance Manual for Greenspace Programmes That Support People with Poor Mental Health and Substance Use Challenges Masterton, Wendy Falzon, Danilo Torrance, Morgan Carver, Hannah Parkes, Tessa Engstrom, Sandra Gorely, Trish Lovell, Rebecca Duncan, Eddie Park, Kirsty Dumbrell, Joshua http://hdl.handle.net/1893/37479 2025-10-15T00:09:57Z 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z Title: Guidance Manual for Greenspace Programmes That Support People with Poor Mental Health and Substance Use Challenges Author(s): Masterton, Wendy; Falzon, Danilo; Torrance, Morgan; Carver, Hannah; Parkes, Tessa; Engstrom, Sandra; Gorely, Trish; Lovell, Rebecca; Duncan, Eddie; Park, Kirsty; Dumbrell, Joshua Abstract: Greenspace programmes are outdoor initiatives designed to support physical and mental wellbeing. Examples include gardening, conservation activities, hiking, forest walks, and more. Evidence suggests these programmes positively impact health, though research on their effectiveness for those with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues is limited. With rising concerns about substance use and mental health in Scotland, greenspace programmes can offer person-centred approaches to improve health. Through an iterative research process, we have developed a guidance manual to support those experiencing poor mental health and substance use challenges. The manual is relevant for practitioners and organisations interested in developing and implementing a greenspace programme to support service users, providing a flexible framework that is adaptable to local context. 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z Greenspace Programme Outcomes and Evaluation Guidance Masterton, Wendy Falzon, Danilo http://hdl.handle.net/1893/37478 2025-10-15T00:07:50Z 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z Title: Greenspace Programme Outcomes and Evaluation Guidance Author(s): Masterton, Wendy; Falzon, Danilo Abstract: This document has been created for practitioners to provide guidance around evaluation of greenspace programmes for people with poor mental health and substance use challenges. 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z
