Navigating Mental Health in a Changing Climate

Eco-anxiety is the term used to describe growing psychological distress tied to the climate crisis and its impact on our environment. It can manifest as feelings of fear, frustration, grief, or even guilt over our personal impact on the planet. While not yet a formal diagnosis, it’s increasingly affecting young people, healthcare providers, Indigenous Peoples and other communities.

We’ve compiled a few evidence-based resources to help you navigate eco-anxiety. These include strategies to foster resilience, connect with nature, and build community. For health practitioners, there are tools to better support patients experiencing climate-related mental health challenges.

On this page, you’ll find an in-depth article on eco-anxiety, and infographics focused on practical management strategies and guidance.
