We have a bold ambition to grow so that we can support more individuals, communities, health systems and societies to understand and effectively respond to the mental health impacts of the climate crisis. 

By supporting us, you will accelerate our work in the following areas: 

Research

• Aims: Extend our work in the UK and globally; focus on young people and other groups particularly affected

Education 

• Educate mental health professionals to identify and mitigate the mental health impacts of climate change.
• Aim: Develop a bespoke course that will help mental health professionals develop this critical understanding

Intervention

• Support individuals, communities and leaders to share and process their emotional and psychological responses to the climate crisis, protect their mental health and wellbeing, and take action towards a more hopeful future together.
• Aim: Develop workshops to empower school-aged young people to use their voices for positive change  

Policy

• Connect and inform decision-makers to make win-win policies for climate and mental health a reality.
