Why Attend This Conference?
Trauma and toxic stress affect many people today in the California. The
acute disasters and chronic stresses generated by climate change can
aggravate many of these ongoing adversities, and create altogether new
ones as well. The result can be rising mental health problems including
severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, and increased suicides. In addition,
psycho-social spiritual problems can increase such as hopelessness, child
and spousal abuse, crime, interpersonal violence, and intra-group conflict.
These fear-based reactions threaten the health, safety, and wellbeing of
families, organizations, and communities. Because frightened people often focus only on self-protection and ignore external issues, they also threaten our ability to cut carbon emissions and minimize the climate crisis. This conference will be the first in California to address these issues head on.
