Join us on September 21, 2022 at 12PM ET for a free webinar on climate anxiety and its implications on the mental health of youth and children. Climate change has important implications for the health and futures of children and young people, yet they have little power to limit its harm, making them vulnerable to climate anxiety (Hickman et al., 2021).
A large proportion of children and young people around the world report emotional distress and a wide range of painful, complex emotions such as sadness, fear, anger, powerlessness, helplessness, guilt, shame, despair, hurt, grief, and depression. Similarly, large numbers report experiencing some functional impact and have pessimistic beliefs about the future (Hickman et al., 2021).
In this Frayme-hosted webinar, a panel of speakers will address concerns around climate anxiety and its particular implications on the wellbeing and mental health of children and youth, as well as discuss programming that can help address some of the emotional distress that young people are feeling in regards to the rapidly evolving global climate crisis.
