b)     You call this a crisis? How can psychologists help children and young people manage the anxiety of climate change - Friday 25 September, 12 Noon AEST

(11.30 SA, 10.00am WA, 2pm Aotearoa NZ, some time Thursday evening in the Americas... or catch it online later, if you register beforehand)

Lunchtime session with the brilliant Prof Ann Sanson and Dr Susie Burke on how we can help children and young people address the fear associated with climate change by taking action


Behind the COVID-19 pandemic looms another existential threat that carries a much broader range of severe impacts, including long-lasting mental health impacts on children and young people.

Please join Ann and Susie as they share their expertise on the psychological impacts of climate change in a 1-hour lunchtime session. Find out how we can act to combat the worst impacts of climate change and at the same time prevent serious mental health impacts among children and young people. (Spoiler alert - the two are interrelated).These two engaging presenters will present evidence from around the world about how young people are responding to the climate crisis, and suggest practical strategies that can be implemented immediately and lead to powerful short-term and long-term benefits.

The material in this session will be useful for psychologists, educators, parents and grandparents who work with children, young people, families or who work in prevention or other disaster-related topics.

And yes, Friday is the next School Strike for Climate<https://www.schoolstrike4climate.com/> day - the kids are already streets ahead.
