Description

The PSC Climate-Aware Capability Framework supports mental health practitioners to navigate the profound psychological and emotional dimensions of the climate and nature crisis.

As climate change intensifies and communities experience growing loss, disruption and uncertainty, practitioners increasingly meet clients expressing eco-anxiety, grief, despair and solastalgia—yet few have received training to respond confidently to these emerging challenges.

This Framework offers a structured, systems-based approach for integrating climate awareness into therapeutic and community practice, addressing the wellbeing of both individuals and the collective. Our Framework identifies eight capabilities that encompass core knowledges, approaches, tools and sustainable practice for climate-aware mental health care.

Drawing on over a decade of PSC’s experience in climate psychology, the Framework is informed by research, practitioner consultation, and lived experience. It outlines a developmental progression:

Personal Foundations — Me

Relational Practice — We

Community Transformation — Us

Relational Grounding — All

It supports growth at every level of capability. Emphasising that inner work and outer change are interdependent, it helps practitioners cultivate self-reflection, cultural awareness and embodied connection with nature as the basis for community care and systemic transformation. As a living document, the Framework continues to evolve with ongoing learning, collaboration and the contributions of practitioners across diverse contexts.

View profile

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.

General Terms & Conditions of online bookings for PSC events on Humanitix:

Registration and payment:

For public workshops and training, payment must be made upfront to secure a place.
For organisational workshops, it may be possible to be invoiced (payment is still required prior to the workshop date.) Please enquire if you need this option.

Fee Assistance: Anyone experiencing financial hardship is encouraged to contact PSC on info@psychologyforasafeclimate.org.au for assistance in attending a workshop or event.

Refund Policy:

Climate Cafes: For our regular, monthly, Community Climate Cafés, registrants are able to return their own ticket for a full refund up to 24 hrs prior to the event, via the link in their Humanitix confirmation email. We encourage you to return your ticket if you cannot attend as this allows us to track expected numbers at the Café, and also allows someone else to attend if the Café was full.

Event Cancellation: PSC reserves the right to cancel a workshop or event due to low enrolment or other issues, in which case a full refund will be offered.

Event Postponement: it is very rare that a PSC event is postponed, but if it is necessary, existing registrants will be moved to the new event date, notified via the email supplied when registering, and offered the opportunity of a refund if the new date is not suitable. Unless advised by a stated deadline, it will be assumed that registrants can attend the new date. Requests for refunds after the deadline, will be treated as per the above policies.

Complaints: Participants can address complaints by contacting PSC on info@psychologyforasafeclimate.org.au
