Psychiatric News article on need for community-based initiatives to address climate mental health problems

Bob Doppelt 7/26/2111:34 AM

ITRC member Dr. David Pollack made possible this article that was just published in Psychiatric News. It explains the urgent need to quickly expand the mental health system beyond individualized trauma treatment to prioritize community-based, culturally-tailored, population-level initiatives that enhance universal capacity for what I call "Presencing" and "Purposing" to prevent and heal climate change generated traumas.

The article can be found here: https://psychnews.psychiatryon...76/appi.pn.2021.8.34

With record droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, floods, and other climate change enhanced disasters now impacting people nationwide, the need to expand our current approach is all the more pressing.
