I am beyond excited to announce the launch of a brand new initiative—Climate Cafe Facilitator Training, the first of its kind in Canada! This free, virtual training is an incredible opportunity for anyone passionate about both mental health and climate action.
🌱 What is a Climate Cafe?
Climate Cafes are peer-led, supportive spaces where people can come together to talk about their emotions related to the climate crisis, including eco-anxiety and climate grief. These gatherings aim to provide a space for emotional well-being while building community resilience in the face of the climate crisis.
