Psychology for a Safe Climate (PSC) is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2010 in Melbourne, Australia, to foster emotional engagement with climate change. PSC was founded in response to the lack of individual and community commitment to address the climate emergency.

We aim to increase understanding and engagement with the psychological impact of climate change.

Purpose

Our purpose is to support people in facing the reality of the climate emergency. We aim to build community capacity to respond constructively to climate change by promoting and strengthening mental health and wellbeing.

We engage with those working and volunteering in organisations on climate change, the caring professions, and the broader community.

Events

We provide Professional Development for psychologists and other mental health professionals working at the intersection of climate change and mental health, and training and workshops to strengthen and support individuals, climate activist communities, and workplace and volunteer teams working in sectors feeling the impacts of climate change on their communal mental health. (environment, sustainability, etc).

We also present community workshops and talks, all with the aim of helping to foster emotional engagement with climate change.
