Talking mental health and climate change (from The Agenda with Steve Paikin)
Watch Katie Hayes of the University of Toronto, and Melanie Goodchild of the Waterloo Institute for Social Innovation and Resilience, join Steve Paikin to discuss the connections between climate change and mental health.
From post-traumatic stress disorder in the wake of a climate disaster such as a hurricane, to food insecurity and depression among the Inuit, new research is starting to shed light on the need to factor mental health concerns into the climate change discussion.
What are you/your workplaces doing to acknowledge the links between mental health and the climate crisis?
Emma, when was this episode aired?
I'm working on the climate change portfolio right now--conducting an assessment and adaptation plan. I want to make sure to include the mental health component and I'd like to save the link to this interview for future reference.
Thanks,
