Clinical Workshops and Courses

In a joint effort between Climate Psychology Alliance- North America and Climate Psychiatry Alliance, this online course for mental health clinicians provides grounding in the complex factors at play in the climate crisis and larger polycrisis, including ways to work with our own responses and those of our clients in climate-aware therapy. Recorded content, readings, and in-depth small group communal learning circles led by faculty, allow room for emergent clinical material throughout. The course culminates in a final extended class of creative small group case discussions led by the instructors.

Offered by the CPA-NA Agricultural Workers Committee, this is a two-hour experiential and educational workshop for therapists and helping professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the specific challenges faced by farmers relating to food systems, climate change and mental health. This will support both clinicians who are already serving agricultural workers and/or rural populations and also those who do not directly work with these communities. Through art-based exercises, storytelling and population-specific climate grief education, participants will leave with a clear understanding of why farmers are on the frontlines of climate change, the serious mental health effects faced by this population and ways to support these critical communities not only as therapists but as eaters.
