Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)

The Conversation

With climate change fueling more disasters, it is incredibly important to understand its impacts on human health, including mental health.

PACEs Connection

Whether you are a parent or a guardian, a teacher or a school administrator, if you have children in your life, you might hear them talking about climate change.

Heated

International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies

As human beings, our physical and mental health cannot be separated from the environments in which we live. Climate change, if left unaddressed, is projected to have catastrophic consequences on the mental health of entire populations.
