Join us for a thoughtful discussion on the mental health impacts of climate change - and how we can support one another and build resilience in the face of growing climate challenges. Climate change is putting serious strain on our mental health. Extreme weather events like bushfires, floods, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, affecting people across Australia and adding pressure to an already stretched health system. The mental toll comes not only from direct impacts but also from ongoing worry about the future. Constant exposure to distressing news can cause anxiety, grief, and hopelessness.

This webinar will explore these complex issues and consider ways to care for our mental health - and each other - amid the growing realities of climate disruption.
