Teaching about climate change is filled with distressing information about the current and future impacts on our world, and naturally can have detrimental effects on youth’s mental health. Educators will hear from youth about how they are handling this challenge, and will walk away with a variety of strategies and activities to integrate into their curriculum as they engage with today’s youth. Presenters: Youth Advisory Board Members to the Climate Mental Health Network, and Alicia Christensen, CIRES @ University of Colorado.
