“…Reese and Myers (2012) cited a lack of attention placed on the human-nature connection in wellness models and a need to integrate components of nature into professional counseling. Other researchers have made similar observations (e.g., Greenleaf, Bryant, & Pollock, 2014;Greenleaf & Roessger, 2017;Reese, Lewis, Myers, Wahesh, & Iverson, 2014;Swank, Cheung, Prikhidko, & Su, 2017;Swank, Shin, Cabrita, Cheung, & Rivers, 2015).…”

Researchers developed the ecowellness construct to draw focus on the human–nature connection in counseling. The authors examined relationships between the EcoWellness Inventory and the Five Factor Wellness Inventory in a study with 749 participants ages 18 to 84. Results provide further support for the significance of ecowellness as a dimension of holistic wellness that merits additional attention in humanistic counseling and research.

“…The age of veterans differed between the studies. Eleven studies included veterans of all ages [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], two of which were specifically aimed at understanding age-related differences between veterans in the sample [21,23]. Five studies specifically focused on older veterans with age-related inclusive criteria ranging from 51+ years to 65+ years [30][31][32][33][34] and one study did not report details of age [35].…”

Background Loneliness and social isolation are being increasingly recognized as influencing both physical and mental health. There is limited research carried out with military veterans and, to date, there is no review of existing evidence. Aims To synthesize and examine the evidence exploring aspects of social isolation and loneliness of military veterans, using a systematic narrative review strategy. Methods A database search was carried out utilizing relevant search criterion. Seven databases were searched for publications with no date restrictions. Articles were included if they involved veterans and either social isolation or loneliness. The initial search returned 484 papers, after exclusions, removal of duplications, and a reference/citation search, 17 papers remained and were included in this review. Results The retrieved papers examined four areas of loneliness and social isolation: prevalence of loneliness in the veteran population, experiences related to military service as impacting loneliness or social isolation, the relationship between mental health and loneliness or social isolation, and interventions to combat loneliness and social isolation. Differences between the experiences of younger and older veterans were also highlighted. Conclusions It is evident that military veterans present unique experiences of loneliness and social isolation, especially older veterans. This requires specific attention outside of campaigns targeted at the nonmilitary population.

Mixed methods were used to assess the impact of a Veterans Vision Fast program on 5 veterans' mental health. Posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, psychological flourishing, life satisfaction, and well‐being were measured twice before and twice after the program using a data collection app. Semistructured interviews assessed veterans' perceived experiences. The authors found significant overall changes and large effect sizes in each outcome over 6 weeks, and several themes emerged from the veterans' responses. The program positively affected veterans' lives.
