During this 1-hour webinar, we will review research linking climate change and mental health. We will focus on skills for coping with and moving through personal grief and loss related to climate change. Emphasis will also be placed on supporting students in processing and transforming climate change-related grief and loss. As a component of this, we will learn how to inspire hope in yourself and your students through examples of – innovation, advocacy and community action. This webinar will include both lecture and interactive components.
