Please Read This Article: Preparing for Climate Overshoot Requires Quickly Expanding Our Mental Health System

All mental health and social service leaders are urged to read the attached article Preparing for Climate Overshoot Requires Quickly Expanding Our Mental Health System.

It describes:

  • How this decade or early next global temperatures will likely surpass the 2.7 F temperature threshold that unleashes extremely destructive and possibly irreversible impacts on the planet and society (climate scientists call this "climate overshoot")
  • How, if we remain unprepared, the climate overshoot will generate individual and collective traumas on a scale never before seen in modern society.
  • Why our crisis and illness-focused mental health and human services programs cannot prevent or heal the coming tsunami of individual and collective traumas.
  • Why we must quickly expand to prioritize a public health and prevention approach that emphasizes emphasizes community-based, culturally-accountable, population-level mental wellness and resilience building initiatives nationwide.


Please read the article and begin to build population-wide, culturally-accountable mental wellness and resilience in your community or region.
