As part of a series of events in six RECETAS cities, the RECETAS team in Marseille invites you to mark World Mental Health Day 2025. A unique occasion to explore how we can integrate nature and social connection to alleviate loneliness.

Take part in the Marseille event

Join us for a half-day of dialogue and exchange on the potential of nature-based psychosocial interventions, which help to reduce loneliness, enhance mental wellbeing, and strengthen community connections.

This event will bring together local public actors, health professionals, urban planners, biodiversity experts, to open a conversation on nature-based social prescribing (NBSP) and its role in shaping healthier, more connected cities.
