A highlight this fall was my webinar for the Families for a Livable Climate group. This Portland-based group brings parents and youth together to take action for climate justice in ways that are accessible, inclusive, informative and inspiring. We had a great discussion. My outline included:
- Ground Rules for Environmental Talks
- A Primer on “Environmental Identity”
- Connecting with Nature and The Outdoors Across the Life Span
- Overview of my Research on the Mental Health Impacts of Climate Change
- Tools for Parenting, Coping, Resilience and Whole Family Growth
- Ways Families Can be Part of the Solution for Climate Change
- Questions, Brainstorming and Motivation
