The global climate-ecosystem-biodiversity crisis is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. Studies have found that, literally everywhere, the accelerating traumatic stresses, emergencies, and disasters generated by the current temperature increases and ecological breakdowns are causing significant mental health and psychosocial problems.
These troubles are affecting childhood and adolescent development, incomes and livelihoods, the availability of food, water, and shelter, human health, public safety, social services, and much more. Left unaddressed, as temperatures heat up, far greater individual and collective difficulties will occur.
Anyone (worldwide) interested in building universal mental wellness and transformational resilience in their community is invited to join our educational webinar:
WHO: CTIPP, the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC), Trauma Informed Oregon, and Race to Resilience (United Nations)
WHAT: Learn how you can participate in the Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks (TRCN) Commissioning Program to prevent and heal climate-generated mental health and psychosocial problems and regenerate local conditions
WHEN: 12:00-1:30 p.m. ET (9:00-10:00 a.m. PT, 5:00 p.m. in the UK, and 7:00 p.m. in Nairobi, Kenya)
Why it is essential now-–and possible--to prepare everyone for the physical, social, psychological, emotional, and behavioral impacts speeding their way due to the climate-ecosystem-biodiversity crisis.
How actively engaging local residents in identifying and strengthening existing protective factors, and forming additional ones, is vital to prepare them for the traumatic stresses, emergencies, and disasters speeding their way and allow them to remain healthy and resilient as they regenerate their community.
Why the most effective way to accomplish this is to form TRCNs in neighborhoods and communities that use a public health approach to build population-level mental wellness and transformational resilience.
Why building mental wellness and transformational resilience must now be fully integrated into efforts to slash the use of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gasses, strengthen external physical resilience, and continually adapt to climate impacts.
How you and your organization can participate in the ITRC Race to Resilience initiative to help form, grow, and “Commission” Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks (TRCNs) in neighborhoods and communities throughout the U.S. and worldwide to accomplish these goals.
The TRCN commissioning initiative is what led the ITRC to become a partner of the UN Climate Change High Level Champion Race to Resilience Campaign.
