The Evidence

The Nature of Mental Health

An edited recording of this past event is available on the BBC website with the programme title: 'The nature of mental health'.

Join Claudia Hammond and guests to discuss the relationship between plants and our mental health. 

Claudia will present the programme and interview the speakers. Then the audience will have the chance to ask questions. You can participate or just listen in. 

The event is inspired by the Wellcome Collection exhibition 'Rooted Beings'.

The event will be recorded live with an audience and edited into a programme to be broadcast on the BBC World Service as part of 'The Evidence' series. After broadcast, episodes of 'The Evidence' are available on the BBC website.

Join Claudia Hammond from the BBC and guests to discuss the relationship between plants and our mental health.
