What does blue do for you?

A collaborative resource to share research findings and promote blue space engagement for people with severe mental illness

Experiences of blue spaces and health in the lives of people with severe mental illness. This project, in collaboration with the University of Exeter, is investigating how outdoor blue spaces, such as seas, rivers and lakes, can have positive effects on the physical and mental health of people with serious mental health conditions such as Bipolar or Schizophrenia.
