Presented By: Leslie Davenport, LMFT

Climate scientists estimate 200 million Americans will be touched by significant psychological distress from climate-related events in the upcoming years, and yet little attention is given to how to treat the trauma that results from client chaos. The mental health field is powerful in addressing the emotional underpinnings of climate denial, understanding motivators for change, and identifying the most effective communication strategies. Our profession is poised to cultivate a pragmatic form of hope by helping develop empowering actions, a clear direction, ways to connect with collective and systemic support, practices for effective self-care, and the tools and methods necessary for change. 

Learning Objectives - After completion of the presentation the attendees will:

1. Identify the growing relevance of climate change in psychotherapy.

2. Analyze a variety of ways to ethically incorporate climate psychology perspectives into clinical practice.

3. Identify key theoretical underpinnings of the psychology of climate change denial.
