Parents & Caregivers Resources

Climate Mental Health Network helps parents understand and respond to the mental health impact of climate change on young family members. Our tools and resources — in use with families across the country — can reveal the role climate plays in the emotional states, behaviors, and choices of young people. Our connections with practitioners and advocates helps parents translate those understandings into building stronger parent-child relationships, better community mental health supports, and a future that’s more worthy of our youth.
