A two hour introductory webinar for practitioners' professional development, run by Psychology for a Safe Climate as commissioned by CPA.

CPA have commissioned Psychology for a Safe Climate especially to offer this webinar. While it is a stand alone webinar, it forms part of a Climate Aware Practitioner training offered over three mornings in April and May, leading to a Climate Aware Practitioner qualification. You can find details here.

When?

This two hour introductory webinar will take place online on Saturday 15 April 2023, UK time 9am - 11am.

Who is it for?

The training will be relevant to anyone working in the therapy room with people who are distressed about the reality and impact of the climate and ecological emergency.

In this webinar, participants will be introduced to PSC’s Support Model, an evidence-informed approach to supporting people who are distressed by the reality of climate change. PSC encourages expression of emotions about climate change without pathologising people’s responses. Eco-anxiety and climate distress are seen as rational responses to the growing climate crisis. Participants will engage with their own response to climate change in order to develop capacity to provide professional support around this challenging issue.
