K-12 Education
Climate Mental Health Network supports educators in understanding and responding to the youth mental health challenges posed by climate change. Our tools and resources — grounded in research and tested across communities — raise your climate literacy so you’re better prepared to help students navigate their emotional responses in a supportive environment. Our connections across the mental health field provide opportunities to convert that knowledge into action, gaining the mental health and learning supports your students need while becoming a more effective advocate for a better climate future.
Middle School
Research and Toolkit
Our research, in partnership with the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), shows that teachers across the country are witnessing the emotional toll of climate change on students, yet many feel unprepared to help them cope.
Our free resources were designed to help educators support student and teacher mental health while building resilience. These resources were developed through a multi-year program of work that included a nationwide study to better understand the experiences and needs of middle school teachers and students.
Based on these insights, we created a comprehensive toolkit to address both student and teacher mental health. A nationwide pilot confirmed its effectiveness, with teachers from across the US testing the resources in their classrooms.
