Children’s Mental Health in a Changing Climate

Conference //

Date:

Oct 08 2024, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST

Description

Children and adolescents are disproportionately affected by climate change. While some endure direct impacts such as forest fires and floods, a broader spectrum of youth face indirect challenges like increased exposure to extreme heat, extended seasons of vector-borne illnesses and deteriorating air quality. The pervasive climate narrative also contributes to rising eco-anxiety and a sense of hopelessness among children and youth.

This webinar is designed for mental health professionals, medical practitioners, educators, climate advocates and organizations dedicated to youth well-being. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how climate change intersects with youth mental health and explore strategies to mitigate these effects and inform child-supportive adaptation to a changing environment. By attending, you will enhance your capacity to support the mental health of children and their caregivers in the context of our changing climate.
