Climate Anxiety Research Project Launches with Free Student Support
Psychology and Environmental Science collaboration develops evidence-based interventions for eco-distress.
A cross-disciplinary team from the Psychology and Environmental Science departments has launched "Climate Minds," a free support program for students experiencing climate anxiety.
The 8-week program combines cognitive behavioural therapy techniques with environmental action workshops, helping students process eco-distress while channelling it into constructive engagement.
"Climate anxiety is a rational response to a real threat," said lead researcher Dr. Hannah Ross. "Our job is to help students feel empowered to act despite the anxiety."
Pilot participant Jordan Liu said: "This program helped me turn paralysis into purpose."
