This is a brand new network for anyone interested in #climatechange and it's effect on #mentalhealth: from #ecoanxiety to #solastalgia and everything in between. Details on how to join the mailing list will be available soon... watch this space! 👀

New terms are emerging all the time to describe some of the #mentalhealth impacts of #climatechange. These include #ecophobia, #ecoanxiety, and #solastalgia, as well as #compassionfatigue, #recoveryfatigue and #pretraumaticstressdisorder. Are there others to add to the list? 🗒️

Today's World Forum on #ClimateJustice2019 sees the launch of this network! If you're here in person, do come and say hi to @harriet_ingle who runs this network & to find out more about how to get involved!

This week marks #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek. An estimated 450 millions people worldwide are living with #mentalhealth issues, and #ClimateChange looks likely to increase these numbers dramatically.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay2019; perfect excuse to enjoy a #mentalhealth pamper sesh! Engaging in relaxing activities is great for mental health, just like exercise is good for physical health. Why not see how many mental-healthy things you can do to #treatyourself today🧘‍♂️

Spending as little as 2 hrs per week in green spaces can benefit your health & quality of life. Plus, the economic impact of areas like national parks on peoples’ mental health is $6 trillion per year worldwide 🏞️

Here's a new article that Michael Mikulewicz and I wrote discussing the invisible injustice of #mentalhealth & #ClimateChange. Find it here 👀 thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…

Some great words to reflect on here 👍
