Climate Café (For Parents) at Montshire Museum of Science

Join Moms Clean Air Force and New Hampshire’s Children’s Trust for a climate café for parents at the Montshire Science Museum. Climate cafés are facilitated small-group gatherings for parents of young children to share thoughts and emotions on the impact of climate change on parenting and their children’s health.

This event will be co-facilitated by Elizabeth Bechard and Maria Finnegan. Elizabeth is our Senior Policy Analyst for Moms Clean Air Force and leads our work on climate change and mental health. She is author of Parenting in a Changing Climate: Tools for Cultivating Resilience, Taking Action, and Practicing Hope in the Face of Climate Change. Maria is the Director of Communications for the New Hampshire Children’s Trust. After a career in media and development at NPR, ABC, ESPN, and more, she came home to the Granite State and found her true calling in building a grassroots climate movement focused on the physical and mental health of children and parents.

Pre-registration is required as space will be limited. Free on-site childcare is available. Participating families will also receive free museum admission for the day. Learn more and register here.

Climate Cafés are made possible through a collaboration with the NH Healthcare Workers for Climate Action and the Dartmouth Center for Advancing Rural Health Equity (CARHE) at Dartmouth Health.
