Climate Change and Mental Health: Educating for Resilience

Presented by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) and the USDA Forest Service, our upcoming webinar, featuring US Deputy Surgeon General, Rear Admiral (RADM) Denise Hinton, will examine the mental health impacts of climate change and the role of healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders in addressing climate emotions with youth populations.

You will learn:

• How to identify the mental health impacts of climate change-related weather events and examine how climate change affects youth, including the nuanced aspects of their shared lived experiences.
• Explore effective strategies for healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders to engage in conversations about climate emotions with children and adolescents.
• Share educational resources for building mental resilience
