Exploring EcoTherapy with Chiara Santin

In this episode, Julie and Sezer speak with Chiara Santin who is a Systemic and Family Psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer and Director of Rainbow Family Therapy Services and Rainbow Community Projects CIC.
Chiara has worked with children and families for more than 30 years, in Italy as a community-based youth worker and in UK as a professional. She is passionate about promoting affordable family therapy, activity-based therapy and EcoTherapy.
EcoTherapy is a form of therapy which uses nature as the context for change, self-growth and healing. It is the application of Ecopsychology, a well-developed field to claim people’s need to reconnect to nature for their own benefit as well as promoting a renewed awareness and commitment to caring and protecting the environment of which we are part of.
Chiara talks to us about her projects in applying EcoTherapy to systemic family therapy.
