About this event
How to Communicate with Kids about the Climate Crisis.
A meeting for parents, teachers and anyone concerned about supporting young people with their well being.
We are very lucky to be joined by Caroline Hickman and Jo Mc Andrews of the Climate Psychology Alliance. Jo and Caroline are experts in climate anxiety and how best to support children in these unprecedented times.
In this session, they will guide us through research that will better enable us to communicate with children about the climate and ecological emergency.
There will also be an option to share thoughts and feelings, and get support.
It is likely now that everyone on the planet has some knowledge about climate change, and can tell you what they think about it, which means they will also be having feelings about it even if they are not always consciously anxious or scared, they may try not to think about it. Climate change & the bio-diversity crisis is affecting the mental health of everyone, adults and children, in every country in the world, and research tells us that it is most strongly affecting the mental health of children and young people.
Climate change & the bio-diversity crisis are an unprecedented threat on a scale that has never been seen before in human history, and it is affecting everyone. We have no prior experience of dealing with something on this scale on which to base our solutions and actions, or to give us guidelines on how to cope with the emotional turmoil that accompanies threats of this size. Climate psychologists are researching and building a knowledge base to help people navigate these threats, to contain and reduce stress and trauma, to empower people to take action, and to support people with their fears, grief and anger.
