Climate change represents one of the most pressing problems of our time and amplifies existing mental health impacts, especially for historically marginalized and vulnerable individuals and communities, and for children and youth who are facing the dread of an uncertain future. As extreme weather events become more common, and for those who have long been exposed to multiple forms of environmental racism and injustice, traumatic responses and symptoms often increase. Mental health clinicians need to be able to expand their toolkit to include awareness of the climate crisis and ways to meet the multi-faceted psychological needs that are arising.
