About this Event
Join us for this special Wellbeing Conversation featuring psychologists Dr Beth Hill and Dr Bronwyn Gresham from Psychology for a Safe Climate. Coming to grips with the climate and ecological crisis, many individuals experience a range of emotions - from fear and grief to hope and determination. This 1.5hrs interactive seminar will offer a safe space for participants to explore and articulate these complex emotions, build shared language and skills that support mutual understanding. We will focus on the importance of connecting with others at this critical time for action, exploring the links between emotional expression, group connection and resilience. The session offers participants a chance to build greater connection and solidarity in challenging feelings and experiences.
Through this interactive seminar you will:
- build shared language - develop a shared understanding of climate emotions, eco-emotions, and their role in climate and social justice work
- understand climate distress - differentiate between the natural emotional responses to climate issues and distress that may affect well-being
- sustain engagement - learn practical approaches for working with your emotions to support long-term, constructive engagement with climate crisis.
Places are limited, so please make sure you book your tickets.
