Ecological Crisis and the Impact on Mental Health
The ecological crisis is having a significant impact on our mental health, in particular young people. There is an ongoing debate whether this topic should be front and centre for mental health professionals, and those that work with children. What do they need to be doing? What do young people think? How can we work together? As the world focuses on COP26, we’ll be discussing the mental health implications of climate change with leading mental health professionals and young people.
