Climate Distress Resources

• If climate anxiety, grief or distress arise in your congregation during the Season of Creation, and you haven’t had the chance to equip yourself through the Climate Pastoral Care Course yet, please refer people to Psychology for a Safe Climate – including the resources on the website, monthly online Climate Cafes to discuss emotions, training and workshops, and a list of climate aware psychologists and practitioners.

Compiled by the Five Leaf Eco-Awards. An extended version of this resource was provided to those who attended the Five Leaf Eco-Awards Churches Connect: Season of Creation Planning Event on 28 July.
