Supporting Youth Wellbeing in the Climate Crisis: Critical Understandings and Hopeful Practices

Climate change is a crisis – an urgent political, social, economic, environmental, and existential issue. Youth wellbeing is uniquely impacted by this crisis, as young people have limited access to institutional power to intervene and are set to inherit the worst of its effects as they age.

Join us for an exploration of critical understandings and hopeful practices to support youth wellbeing in the climate crisis, followed by an engaging discussion with our special guests – including practitioners, researchers, and young changemakers – on how these understandings and practices can be taken up and applied in your work with youth.

Our guests will include:

• Swelen Andari, Senior Manager, Climate Resilience & Youth Mental Health, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
• Laura Glover, Youth Worker, Therapist, Researcher, and PhD Student, School of Social Work, York University
• Willo Prince, Education Coordinator, Indigenous Climate Action
• Mariam Sarikaya, Youth Climate Collective, Lakeshore Arts
• Abhay Singh Sachal, Founder & Executive Director, Break The Divide
• Fraser Thomson, Staff Lawyer, Ecojustice

This event will also feature a performance by poet Robyn Kaur Sidhu.
