Interactive online training

An overview of climate-related mental health issues and the growing impact that environmental destruction has on the psyche.

Join Snowy Lajoie, LCSW-R, KMOG, in this virtual training aimed at providing psychotherapy for clients experiencing ecological grief, climate anxiety, and other related existential crises. Topics covered will include an overview of climate-related mental health issues and the growing impact that environmental destruction has on the psyche, signs and symptoms of climate-related mental health issues, current research on the impact of climate change and environmental destruction on mental health, and therapeutic interventions for supporting and treating clients experiencing eco grief, climate anxiety, and related existential crises. The disproportionate impact that climate change and environmental destruction have on BIPOC and indigenous communities will also be addressed, as well as a brief overview of how providers can manage their own feelings about environmental destruction and their own existential fears.
