Climate Journey Stream (single sessions)

In PSC's Climate Journey Stream we emphasise that undertaking a personal journey with climate change is central to being a Climate Aware Practitioner.

We call this an Intervision group - a peer to peer group, meeting monthly, designed to help you develop professionally, connect with others, share resources and further possibilities to collaborate.

This program is for anyone supporting people in the climate and ecological crisis space including; psychotherapists, counsellors, facilitators, educators, coaches, consultants, and others accountable for supporting the growth and development of others.
