🌍🧠 Climate change is disproportionately affecting our children and adolescents, both directly through events like forest fires and floods, and indirectly through increased exposure to extreme heat, extended vector-borne illness seasons, and deteriorating air quality. Moreover, the pervasive climate narrative is contributing to rising eco-anxiety and a sense of hopelessness among our youth. This webinar, co-hosted by APHA and the American Psychological Association (APA), is designed for mental health professionals, medical practitioners, educators, climate advocates and organizations dedicated to youth well-being. Join us in this crucial conversation to better support our youth in the face of climate change. We look forward to your participation! 📅 Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2024 ⌚Time: 4 p.m. EDT Register here: https://lnkd.in/eBYRbCxD #climatechangeshealth #climatechange #climatehealth #climateaction #mentalhealthawareness #youthmentalhealth

APHA and SciCAN are co-hosting a webinar focused on environmental factors that influence public health. Register to watch this discussion: https://lnkd.in/gQ_wjjN3 🌍Current environmental and public health systems focus too narrowly on single pollutants and individual sources, leading to significant environmental injustice. We must transform our regulatory practices to address the complex socioeconomic factors that disproportionately affect overburdened communities. Together, let’s advocate for a holistic approach that considers the many stressors impacting our health and environment.
