The World Health Organisation recognises that people's mental health around the globe is seriously affected by climate change.

In a Climate Conversation people attend to share their feelings about the climate and ecological crisis – a thinking and feeling space, a haven from busyness and activity. We do this in a safe space, because sharing feelings in a supportive setting helps to build our resilience during this confusing and difficult time.

Instead of assuming that our anxiety will go away if we act, or assuming that embracing anxiety means accepting the planet's fate, research advocates for the creation of more safe spaces, platforms free of judgement with expectations of respect and a willingness to listen, where feelings can be shared and heard.

You will have the opportunity for thinking about the application of practice skills in the Art Therapy setting.  Getting clarity on using your clinical thinking and practice within a climate anxiety setting.  Explore in a safe and held space. In this session, we will:

  • Principles of a Climate Conversation
  • How to host a climate conversation and underpinning theory
  • Drawing on critical reflection theory and techniques
  • Using your clinical skills to create the space for clients to explore.

Pre-reading Hand-outs to enrolled participants
