Nature’s Power in Healing Trauma
How can nature and outdoor access support healing? With today’s youth facing a growing mental health crisis, this conversation will focus on how nature-based activities and therapies can support children and young people’s well-being and help them recover from trauma. We will hear from Dr. Hanaa Hamdi and Kimiko Russell-Halterman who are both working in different spaces connected to this topic.
Dr. Hamdi has more than two decades of experience in public health administration, research and community development practice. She is committed to advancing health equity across underserved populations through comprehensive and holistic approaches —including integrating nature everywhere people live, learn, pray and play. Dr. Hamdi serves on the Children & Nature Network board of directors.
Kimiko Russell-Halterman is the Environmental Educator for Brown Girl Surf, who works to build a more diverse, environmentally reverent, and joyful women’s, girl’s, and gender expansive surf culture by increasing access to surfing, cultivating community, amplifying the voices of surfers of color, and taking care of the earth. She is also currently pursuing graduate studies focusing on equity and justice in environmental & outdoor education. Kimiko attended UCSB, where she studied Environmental Science and Education, fell in love with teaching, learned to surf and spent as much time as possible playing in the sea.
This inspiring discussion will be followed by audience Q&A.
Our Fall Inside-Out Leadership series hosts conversations between people with similar experiences working to address similar problems, but in different spaces or with different approaches. Our aim is to make these conversations interdisciplinary, intergenerational and perhaps a bit unexpected, connecting leaders who might not otherwise be connected to share their points of view and demonstrate commonalities.
