The human-driven processes and impacts of climate change are disrupting young people’s lives and are putting their homes, institutions, and physical and mental health at risk. While young people may not always talk about these experiences in school or act outwardly distressed, their feelings about climate change are still making their way into the classroom. What can educators do to help young people navigate these difficult emotions? The Educator's Guide to Climate Emotions, written in collaboration with teachers, researchers, and mental health clinicians in consultation with youth climate leaders and climate psychology professionals, offers a variety of approaches for working with climate emotions in educational settings. Co-authors Carolyn McGrath and Kate Schapira will lead the workshop, providing an opportunity to learn more about the guide, ask questions, and hear about opportunities for deeper engagement.
