Eco-Grief and Eco-Anxiety is a focused training for mental health professionals working with the emerging clinical landscape of climate distress. Led by Dr. Jon Gorman, this course provides the conceptual frameworks, therapeutic strategies, and self-care practices clinicians need to meet a growing demand for climate-aware therapy.

Clients are increasingly bringing climate concerns into the therapy room, whether as a primary presenting issue or as undercurrent in broader anxiety, depression, and existential distress. Many clinicians have not been trained to recognize, name, or work with these experiences. This course closes that gap.

What you will learn:

•         Identify Impacts: Understand how climate change affects mental health, including direct trauma from climate events and the chronic stress of living with ecological knowledge

•         Define Eco-Grief and Eco-Anxiety: Develop fluency with the concepts, the research, and the distinctions that allow you to name what clients are experiencing

•         Therapeutic Strategies: Discover climate-aware approaches that integrate validation, meaning-making, and action-oriented coping

•         Self-Care: Build strategies for therapists who are also navigating their own grief and anxiety about ecological loss

This training acknowledges what many clinicians feel privately: that the helper is not separate from the climate reality their clients are bringing in. The course provides both a clinical toolkit and a sustainable framework for doing this work without burning out.

The format is interactive, with case discussion, breakout work, and live Q and A with Dr. Gorman.
