Showing up to the Crisis

Showing Up to the Crisis:

A Workshop for Professionals & Community Leaders On Climate Distress, Healing, And Action

In a time of growing global insecurity, climate-related changes can lead to distress and anxiety among our community. As a healthcare provider, social service provider, community leader, or first responder, you may be assisting in managing this distress and anxiety in others, while also dealing with your own emotions and response.

Are you interested in learning more about climate-related distress—such as anticipatory anxiety, moral distress, and traumatic stress, as well as gaining practical, strength-based approaches to assist your clients, your community, and yourself?

Please join us for a 3.5-hour interactive workshop that equips front-line providers with evidence-informed and trauma-informed strategies for recognizing and responding to climate-related distress and anxiety. Drawing from Indigenous and Western knowledge systems, this session focuses on improving patient outcomes while strengthening professional resilience and collective preparedness.

Learning objectives:

1.  Learn about foundational Indigenous teachings that
   support a holistic understanding of climate‑related impacts on the health
   and well‑being of people and the land
2.  Describe the
   nature of climate‑related anxiety and distress, recognizing how these
   experiences affect individuals and communities
3. Gain knowledge and skills for implementing individual‑level
   and public‑health approaches to managing distress and anxiety
4.  Apply practical, strength-based, and
   trauma-informed frameworks including Active Hope, land-based
   healing, and arts-based practices to support individuals experiencing
   climate-related distress and foster healing through restored relationships
   with land, community, and self.
