Traditional mental health interventions may not fully address the complex needs of migrant populations, emphasizing the need for community-based solutions that consider social, environmental, and cultural factors. The \u201cCONNECT\u201d project aims to enhance the mental health and well-being of migrant children aged 6 to 12 years with psychosocial needs, integrating nature-based activities like community gardening, outdoor arts, surfing, and conservation volunteering. Children and families are referred by professionals to link workers who co-design a personalized plan based on their needs and preferences. This study will evaluate the intervention\u2019s acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The project will be implemented in four deprived communities in Portugal with a high migrant population. Over at least 8 weeks, children will participate in nature-based activities, averaging 90\u2009minutes of exposure per week. A mixed-methods approach will be used, including a randomized controlled trial with an intervention group and waitlist control group, assessing outcomes at three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up). Implementation science frameworks will guide the identification of barriers and facilitators for the scalability and sustainability. Data collection includes questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, and photovoice.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Expected Results<\/jats:title>\n This intervention is expected to improve psychosocial well-being, foster social connections, and promote a sense of belonging, empowering migrant communities. It aims to reduce health disparities by ensuring accessibility and cultural sensitivity, providing evidence support for green and blue social prescribing as a scalable and sustainable community-based mental health strategy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The \u201cCONNECT\u201d project potentially offers a culturally sensitive approach to improving the mental health and well-being of migrant children and their families by integrating green and blue social prescribing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckaf180.403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T07:03:13Z","timestamp":1765177393000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["413\u2003Green and Blue Social Prescribing: Enhancing Mental Health and Well-Being in Migrant Children and Families"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Marques","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NOVA National School of Public Health, Public Health Research Centre, CHRC, REAL, CCAL, NOVA University Lisbon , Lisbon,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Ana Rita","family":"Goes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOVA National School of Public Health, Public Health Research Centre, CHRC, REAL, CCAL, NOVA University Lisbon , Lisbon,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Cl\u00e1udia","family":"Sardinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOVA National School of Public Health, NOVA University Lisbon , Lisbon,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"S\u00f3nia","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOVA National School of Public Health, Public Health Research Centre, CHRC, REAL, CCAL, NOVA University Lisbon , Lisbon,","place":["Portugal"]}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]]},"container-title":["European Journal of Public Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/eurpub\/article-pdf\/35\/Supplement_6\/ckaf180.403\/65784605\/ckaf180.403.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/eurpub\/article-pdf\/35\/Supplement_6\/ckaf180.403\/65784605\/ckaf180.403.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]],"date-time":"2025-12-10T10:01:33Z","timestamp":1765360893000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/eurpub\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/eurpub\/ckaf180.403\/8372604"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Supplement_6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/eurpub\/ckaf180.403","relation":{},"ISSN":["1101-1262","1464-360X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1101-1262"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1464-360X"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2025,12]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]},"article-number":"ckaf180.403"}}
