Gen Zers

Climate Mental Health Network centers your lives, voices, and energy in our work. We provide groups and communities the tools, resources, and programs to help understand how climate change affects your outlook and to get supports for your community.

We do this as optimists. We believe self-care is real and needed: it’s better to do this together than alone; it gives us meaning and identity; it respects our ancestors and builds our legacy; and it frees us to become the people we want to be.

We have launched our new Gen Z cohort: a groundbreaking, peer-based skills and leadership program.

Our 14 cohort members have extensive experience with climate and environmental initiatives in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia. We look forward to helping them further support their communities over the next nine months.

Please note: We are no longer accepting applicants for the this cohort. Please stay tuned for news about our next cohort.

Gen Z Zine

Our Gen Z Advisors, an amazing group of young climate leaders, created this brilliant “zine” for youth about climate emotions and wellness. Our grassroots digital magazine offers a collection of perspectives and tools to support other climate-concerned youth around the emotional impacts of the climate crisis and healthy ways to respond. The content includes writing (poetry, personal reflections, "how to" guides, and informational articles), paintings, and a music playlist—all accompanied by journal reflections and action tips.
