Join us on the eve of World Mental Health Day 2025 to explore how trauma can turn into resilience when we choose to speak up and act.
Extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods and displacement can cause trauma, anxiety, and long-term stress are not just about the planet, but also about people. Let’s talk about what we often overlook: the mental health toll of climate change. Through lived experiences, data insights, and solution-focused dialogue, this webinar will spotlight how mental well-being is integral to sustainability (SDG3: Good Health and Well-being).
