This one-hour webinar provides an overview of the psychological impacts of climate change. The session introduces participants to the concept of eco-anxiety and explores how it may present during or following environmental crises. Special attention is given to the disproportionate effects on Indigenous populations, who may experience intersecting losses tied to land, culture, and identity. The webinar also equips attendees with foundational knowledge in psychological first aid and trauma-informed approaches to supporting individuals experiencing negative emotional and mental responses related to the climate crisis. The webinar combines scientific research with practical tools to foster resilience and compassionate care.
