Climate change is a major global existential challenge that provokes intense feelings in many people. In most cases, concerns about climate change are a rational response to the problem and may lead to positive adaptation, but some people experience significant mental distress. This webinar explores the range of emotional responses to awareness of climate change and how they may impact mental health. Key aspects of assessment and response to climate distress are discussed, with reference to emerging evidence and existing psychotherapeutic models.
