Abstract
This capstone explores the impact of heightened anxiety in children and adolescents in the post–COVID-19 era and examines nature-based therapy (NBT) as a complementary intervention to support student well-being. Drawing from recent research, this capstone highlights the prevalence and neurobiology of anxiety, the ways in which the pandemic intensified mental health challenges, and the potential of integrating natural environments into school counselling practice.
