resilience mental health research spreadsheetsAny country can embrace a national strategy of getting its people and institutions enough time in nature for the community to thrive. This has economic dividends, social capital dividends, mental health health dividends and physical health cost savings.
CrowdDoing has found small groups of trained professionals who know about specific nature benefits. There are people who have been trained in “Attention Restoration Theory”, “forest bathing”, “eco-therapy”, “nature deficit disorder reduction”, and other related terms. This has not be turned into a universal type of knowledge for any society to adopt in a modern context of majorities of the population living in cities and suburbs. There are examples of elements of biophelia as strategy, Singapore’s Airport, Milan’s Bosco Verticale. But the parks themselves are under-utilized globally by populations compared to their impact potential in cities.
CrowdDoing’s goal with Nature Counter is to create universal usable knowledge about what the benefits of nature dose are, how to access the benefits of nature dose and how to validate nature dose benefits for yourself. A world with more advanced processes to support nature dose could be more convivial, more resilient, have greater neuro-plasticity and would have faster learners and greater upward mobility among a plethora of benefits.
Process for Service Learning Collaboration:
1. Adopt a benefit. Such as "self-esteem"
Students will identify one social impact benefit from lists of benefits,

We also have spreadsheets with more benefits if students wish -see attached.
2. Adopt a use case for network effects of nature use, such as a company's employees, a university's students, a school's PTA, a band's fans etc. A network effect use case is one in which each individual separately gets nature immersion and there are extra collective benefits from the side-effects of the whole community interacting differently.
3. Develop scenarios for that stakeholder or group use case to gain the benefits.
4. Develop pitch materials or this use case
5. Develop research for this use case
6. Develop a roadmap for this use case from your own creative perspective based on what it would mean for that benefit to be achieved by a group of people as a whole.
