This is powerful, real intervention work. Outlandish gets queer kids outdoors as a core part of their mental health programming—movement, nature, belonging, and joy woven together in ways that actually land in young nervous systems. @Joyce Lee Thanks for lifting this up! Nature isn’t an add-on; it’s a container for safety, identity affirmation, regulation, and connection. Being seen while being outside, breathing fresh air, moving bodies, and building community—this is prevention, healing, and resilience all at once. Programs like this remind us what it looks like when care is embodied, inclusive, and rooted in the real lives of young people.
