Towards resilience: how are mental health professionals to respond to the climate crisis and the threat of ecosystemic collapse?

The presenters in this workshop will sketch out the scientific basis for the imminent threats, examine the responses to date from some sections of the health professions and begin to construct a framework for addressing the consequences of ecosystemic collapse.
