Moms' Elizabeth Bechard sits down with Dr. Laura Carter Robinson, PsyD, a climate-aware psychologist who has written an excellent set of Climate Mental Health Network tip sheets for parents and caregivers who are supporting children through extreme weather.
These resources include practical, easily digestible guidance for things like what to say to a child when a hurricane or strong storm is approaching, how to support kids’ mental health during a heat wave, how to comfort children if you must evacuate, and who to call in a mental health emergency (there’s even a printable guide to emergency mental health phone numbers, with resources in English and Spanish).
Watch this interview for a tour of the tip sheets. Read more here.
