Join our UN High Level Climate Champion "Race to Resilience" Initiative to
BUILD MENTAL WELLNESS & TRANSFORMATIONAL RESILIENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
From record heat waves, storms, wildfires, droughts, floods, and other disasters, to increasing disruptions to the ecological, social, and economic systems people rely on for food, water, shelter, jobs, incomes, health, and other basic needs, the global climate-ecosystem-biodiversity (C-E-B) crisis is rapidly escalating.
The crisis is an unprecedented public health emergency that, without a major shift in how they are addressed, will produce radically more and different types of mental health and psychosocial problems than society has ever experienced.
THE CHALLENGE:
THE SOLUTION:
A public health approach must be used in communities to strengthen everyone’s capacity for mental wellness and transformational resilience for relentless adversities as residents help reduce the C-E-B crisis to manageable levels and enhance local conditions.
Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks (TRCN) are local multi-sectoral coalitions that develop and implement locally appropriate strategies that help all residents remain socially, psychologically, emotionally, and behaviorally healthy and resilient during persistent adversities.
