Climate Anxiety

The Red Cross Red Crescent Psychosocial Reference Centre has described climate anxiety as a sense of dread; an ‘ongoing or chronic fear of environmental doom. It can apply to past, present or future events’.

‘As with any stressful situation, people display a range of emotions from denial, avoidance, stress reactions, a deep sense of grief, through to engagement and activism. This is important to recognise as there is no one-size-fits-all approach’.

Warragul-based psychologist John Reeves will present on climate anxiety and describe clinical presentations and offer solutions to this seemingly insurmountable problem.

We hope you can join us for a thought-provoking discussion followed by a light supper.
