Mental Health Webinar Series: Awareness to Action: Nature-Based Practices to Reduce Anxiety and Restore Resilience

PRSA ECD is hosting a free webinar as part of its Mental Health Webinar Series, “Awareness to Action: Nature-Based Practices to Reduce Anxiety and Restore Resilience” on Thursday, May 29, at 1 p.m. EDT.

As communicators, we’re often the calm in the storm—navigating fast-moving deadlines, emotional labor, and nonstop demands. But behind every headline and hashtag is a human being who deserves rest, restoration, and connection. During Mental Health Month, PRSA East Central District invites you to explore how nature can be a powerful partner in supporting your mental well-being and resilience.

Join Tracy Teuscher, MS, APR, OCVN—award-winning PR professional, ecotherapist, and founder of The Buzz Maker®—for a session that blends science, strategy, and soul. You’ll discover the impact of compounding stressors on the mind and body, and learn simple, nature-based practices to help you pause, reconnect, and recover in ways that fit your lifestyle, schedule, and access.

This session isn’t about adding another item to your to-do list, it’s about transforming what you’re already doing into regenerative, restorative habits that fuel both your life and your leadership.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How compounding stress impacts mental health and professional resilience
  • The science behind ecotherapy and why nature-based practices work
  • A variety of realistic, accessible ways to reduce anxiety and avoid burnout
  • How to create personalized self-care routines rooted in nature
  • Tips for shifting your mindset from extraction to reciprocity—both personally and professionally

Whether you’re leading a team or managing your own energy and focus, this session will offer meaningful, actionable practices to support your mental wellness, starting today.
