Organized By: Transformational Resilience
with Forensic Psychiatrist Lise Van Susteren, and Caroline Hodge, Associate Manager, Communications & Research, ecoAmerica.
This webinar will provide an overview of two reports. Forensic Psychiatrist and ITRC Founding Member Lise Van Susteren will begin with an overview of a report she co-authored: "The Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the United States: And Why the U.S. Mental Health Care System Is Not Adequately Prepared." Caroline Hodge, Associate Manager, Communications & Research, ecoAmerica, will then provide an overview of a new report by APA and ecoAmerica Beyond Storms & Droughts: The Psychological Impacts of Climate Change.
Both reports indicate that climate change will have significant negative impacts on Americans’ mental health, from increases in stress and depression to heightened aggression and violence.
