    Psychologist Susie Burke is on a mission to enhance community wellbeing and promote action on climate change through her consultancy work with environmental and community agencies, as well as through her private practice as a psychologist in regional Victoria. Her work examines how climate change impacts people’s mental health, and how people across the country are coming to terms with the climate emergency and engaging with its problems and solutions. Burke specialises in pro-environmental behaviour, coping with climate change, talking with children about the environment, preparing for natural disasters, and psycho-social recovery in the aftermath of disasters.
