Ecotherapy-based experiences have been shown to provide multiple benefits such as improved cognitive functioning, increased overall well-being and improved mental and physical health. Few, if any studies have considered the benefits of providing these types of experiences for urban community college students. This pilot study introduces an eco-art based workshop and an animal-assisted therapy interactive presentation as case examples to demonstrate the potential benefits that these types of experiences can have on this population. Based on these preliminary findings, the benefits of these activities can be grouped into three themes: (1) General satisfaction with experience, (2) Opportunity for self-expression, and (3) Awareness of stress-reduction.
