Summary

This study aims to develop and evaluate a two-day, one-night family-centered Forest Therapy program, exploring its feasibility and effectiveness on children's physical and psychological development as well as parental stress.

Detailed description

The research plans to recruit 16 families, each consisting of one child aged 5 to 6 who is receiving early intervention services and both of their parents. The program incorporates the six core elements of Forest Therapy-plants, water, diet, psychology, climate, and exercise therapy-while integrating multi-sensory experiences and group interaction. Outcome evaluations will include physiological and psychological assessments, questionnaires, and interviews with both children and parents to examine pre- and post-intervention differences and gather feedback on the program.
