How do we cope with our fear and grief about climate? How do we speak to our patients, clients, students, kids, and grandkids about their mental health and the climate crisis? How do we use activism as an antidote to anxiety and helplessness? What blocks our activism? How do we align our actions with our values in each moment? We hear about building resilient coastlines and cities. How do we build inner resilience for the climate turbulence to come? 

Around the world, children and young people have the largest stake in finding solutions to the climate and biodiversity crisis. We need to find ways to protect and support children while acknowledging their fears. As youth are taking to the streets and law courts to express their frustration, how can we adults examine our defenses and listen to them more honestly to find ways to navigate the emerging world together.

Many therapy clients, particularly young people, are reporting significant levels of climate anxiety and distress due to governmental inaction on climate. How do we best respond to these very relevant and appropriate concerns when we hear them in our patients? This is not pathological anxiety based on biology or fantasy. It’s based on reality. And how do we deal with our own distress so that we can more accurately listen to others?

We will discuss how climate anxiety and other ecological emotions are affecting educators and students, and about the importance of emotions in the educational setting. He will introduce three key skills that support wiser responses to the climate predicament and provide specific pedagogical techniques for integrating affective experiences into the classroom. He will close with a climate-focused mindfulness practice.

This closing day will address these questions and offer advice and practices to take with you after this week.
