Description


Our connections to places shape our emotional worlds: our sense of belonging, safety and happiness. However, if connections break, this can create major challenges for our wellbeing.

In this video we team up with Dr Cheryl McGeachan, to investigate how the geography of places can help us understand mental ill health. We explore the problems of historical approaches to treating mental ill health, the present day experiences of refugees, and how internal and external factors influence our connection to place. We discover how understanding these experiences with a geographical perspective can help us create kinder, more compassionate environments.
