ecoAmerica recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month this month by bringing awareness to the mental health and well-being impacts of climate change. Each week, we feature blogs that provide a closer look on topics of mental health and climate change, featured in the report, Mental Health and Our Changing Climate. We are also featuring guidance for building community resilience against the climate change impacts on mental health, like the one above.

ecoAmerica Board Member, Dr. Lise Van Susteren’s Closer Look feature in Mental Health and Our Changing Climate was recently published as part of a Mental Health Awareness Month Blog series. The piece is titled, American Youth: Angry, Terrified, and in Despair.

The American Public Health Association and ecoAmerica partnered to release the second volume in the 2022 American Climate Perspectives Survey series. This Part I of the latest report highlights findings on health and safety concerns around climate change hazards and making the climate and health connection.
