About Us

The planetary crisis (climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution) is having a profound impact on the mental health of young Australians. The impact of climate disasters, constant barrage of stories of ecological collapse across social media and the reality of an uncertain climate future is resulting in increased rates of climate anxiety, eco-distress and burnout.

Young people’s mental health is especially at risk because they’re most aware of the impacts of climate change, will face these effects the longest, and while considered the key to our planet’s future, often lack the power to make change.We exist to help young Australians process their climate emotions, not only to support their mental health and well-being but also to clear the path for effective climate action. We are doing this by working with climate mental health practitioners and experts to develop evidence-based awareness campaigns, tools, resources and support networks to help young people care for themselves, each other and the planet.
