Moving Forward, Staying Grounded: A Mental Health Toolbox for Parent Climate Advocates & Activists
Webinar presented by Families for a Livable Climate

Thursday, October 29th, 11am Pacific

For parents concerned about the climate crisis, taking action to make a difference can help both the movement and our own mental health. But sometimes the gravity of the issue, along with the many demands on our time as busy parents, can be emotionally and mentally difficult to navigate.

Dr. Thomas Doherty will discuss healthy ways that parents can engage with global climate change and other social and environmental issues. He will help attendees gain tools to regulate their emotions and stress about climate change, and be more empowered to talk about environmental issues. They will also learn ways to find their comfort zone and set healthy boundaries and priorities regarding advocacy and activism.

The event is free to all, with donations gladly accepted.
Please RSVP, and we’ll send you the Zoom link the week before the event.

“In a corrupt environment, resources will be directed toward such non-productive areas as the police, armed forces and other organs of social control and repression as the elites move to protect themselves, their positions and their material wealth … and resources otherwise available for socio-economic development will be diverted into security expenditure."

John McFarlane. Transnational Crime, Corruption and Crony Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century. Transnational Organized Crime. Vol. 4 No. 2, Summer 1998

“Politicians strain to outdo each other with promises to 'get tough' on crime and to bring law and order back to the streets….There is no question that common street crime is an important social concern. But its image has become so bloated in the mirror of public opinion that it blocks our view of the white collar crimes which are both more costly and more dangerous to society."

James Coleman. The Criminal Elite. 1985. St. Martin's Press
