The Thin Green Line Foundation UK (TGLF UK), in collaboration with the National Trust UK and the European Ranger Federation, invites all rangers to participate in a webinar exploring mental health.

PROTECTING NATURE’S PROTECTORS: RANGERS AND MENTAL HEALTH

Fri 23 Feb 2024 | 10.00 – 12.00 GMT (UK Time)

Access is via Teams – please go to the Members’ Area of the website for the weblink and pass codes.

The theme of last year’s World Mental Health Day was ‘Mental health is a universal human right.’ So, let’s talk about it. What mental health issues do rangers face in the UK, Europe and globally? What are the barriers to putting effective support in place, and what can we do about it? In addition to their own mental health, rangers also deal with members of the public that seek places of natural beauty in midst of their struggles. What kind of training and support can prepare rangers to act in such situations?

The discussion will be facilitated by Megan McCubbin, a wildlife photographer and presenter, and Thin Green Line Foundation Ambassador.
