Dec 1 Climate Café by CPA-NA

Do you have some feelings about climate change? Worry, fear, anger, sadness, and hope are just a few of the emotions that many people feel when confronted with our current climate crisis. Research shows that while most people feel alone with their feelings, the majority of people are concerned about climate change. You are not alone. Talking about these feelings in groups can help make them bearable.

This event is held by the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.
