Words read: "The Climate Minds Coalition is of huge importance to the mental health sector – it allows participating organisations to learn more from each other; to make sure we understand deeply how the changing climate is impacting on the mental health of those we serve; to hold a collective voice that gives us strength in the face of scepticism or lack of care; and, to explore how we are all experiencing the changes in a safe and collaborative space. The NCPS is proud to be part of the Coalition, and we look forward to continuing to support its important work. Meg Moss, National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society."

In July, a #Climate Café for therapists was held by EMDR Association UK (Climate Crisis SIG).

💬 Therapists said it made them feel less alone with climate concerns and that action can mean connecting with feelings.

Join the next Climate Café in September:
