I am a part of a great training opportunity featured in the Los Angeles County Psychological Association (LACPA) @lacpa1945 upcoming CE/CPD Programs in California on November 4, 2023.

This workshop provides guidance for mental health practitioners to address climate change and environmental concerns from a variety of therapeutic orientations. Opportunities for integrating outdoor and walking therapy will be presented, with a focus on practical aspects and managing risk.

Rather than just a training, this event is also meant to seed collaborations in the Los Angels area. So we arranged a panel of locals to join us including a local beach therapy practitioner, researchers, and activists. We'll take the second half of the day outside.

Join us or share with mental health professionals in the LA area.

New York therapists see surge in eco-anxiety as smoke fills skies: ‘Every client addresses it’

The Guardian | Fri 9 Jun 2023 | Alaina Demopoulos @alainademop

"Devastating wildfires in California and Oregon have led west coasters to seek out climate therapists. Thomas J Doherty, a Portland-based psychologist, co-hosts a popular podcast called Climate Change and Happiness, which disperses advice for coping with stress and finding hope in a bleak future. But the field has been slower to catch on in the east coast, where the effects of the climate crisis could be subtler – until this week."
