BC Climate and Health Network: Mental Health & Our Changing Climate

  • 12 Mar 2021
  • 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
  • Webinar

Although often unseen, and less prominent in headlines, climate change has both direct and indirect implications for our mental health and well-being. Some of us are impacted by the stress and anxiety of living in communities impacted by slow and steady climate changes. Others are impacted directly by the trauma of climate related disasters such as wildfires, flooding, extreme weather and heatwaves. Many of us face an existential crisis about the future of the planet. And as practitioners, community members and changemakers, we are seeking ways to build personal and community resilience as we work towards transformational change.

Join the Fraser Basin Council, the BC Climate and Health Network, and our panelists for an engaging discussion that will:

FRAME & DISCUSS the psychological impacts of climate change on human mental health and well-being;
EXPLORE examples of how some organizations and communities are working with the psychological dimensions of climate change in emergency response, adaptation and capacity building;
REFLECT on practices and tools that practitioners can use to intentionally work with and address the psychological aspects of climate change.

Panelists: Judy Wu, Masters of Public Health student at UBC and Sustainability Scholar with Fraser Basin Council Dr. Renée Lertzman, Psychologist and Founder of Project Inside Out Emily Dicken, Director, Northshore Emergency Management
