You’re likely already witnessing the mental health impacts firsthand, with many clients starting to express deep concerns about their own future and the well-being of future generations. Telling you they feel isolated when sharing their fears with others, betrayed by previous generations and governments, and overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.

Leslie is the author of Emotional Resiliency in the Era of Climate Change and co-creator of the Climate Psychology Certificate Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. She has been featured on PBS News Hour, NPR, BBC, The New Yorker, Scientific American, The Atlantic and other major media outlets.
