The Climate and Environmental Crisis: A Primer for Psychologists

Recent research shows an  increasing level of distress concerning the climate and environmental crisis (Leiserowitz et al, 2022; Hickman, 2021). This workshop will illuminate the broader context of this crisis, including the embedded sociocultural factors that differentially affect communities and individuals.  We will discuss ways that climate distress, grief and anxiety are showing up clinically, as well as how the topic might be engaged in sessions when it has not yet been explored. Various clinical approaches and considerations will be presented, including actively processing the emotions and fostering emotional resilience.
