Abstract
COVID-19 has caused tremendous stress among children and adolescents and this stress could precipitate the development of anxiety, panic attacks, depression, mood disorders and other illnesses (Shah et at, 2020). Recent research reports that 60% of parents surveyed during the beginning of the pandemic were concerned or extremely concerned about their families, managing their child's behavior regarding stress levels, anxiety, and emotions (Statistics Canada, 2020). These results support an urgent need for intervention and recovery efforts aimed at improving child and adolescent well-being (Jackson et al., 2021) (Racine et al., 2021). Research establishes a strong connection between exposure to nature and enhanced well-being. The purpose of this capstone is to provide therapeutic strategies for school counsellors involving the proven benefits of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Nature Based Therapy for use with students with anxiety.
