💡 Claire Baker – Registered Mental Health Nurse and Psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience across NHS, private, and third sector settings.

💡 George Clark – Programme Manager at Severn Rivers Trust, supporting projects focused on river restoration, environmental recovery, and community engagement.

Key areas covered include:
• Mental health pressures currently seen in primary care
• Social prescribing and community-based wellbeing approaches
• The relationship between nature and mental wellbeing
• How environmental decline may impact human health
