Climate Change and Kids’ Well-Being:A Guide for Parents and OtherCaring Adults

This is “Climate Change and Kids’ Well-Being: A Guide for Parents and Other Caring Adults,” produced by the Climate Mental Health Network (2025), compiling contributions from psychologists, researchers, and advocates in the climate-emotions space.
Climate change is already affecting children’s physical and mental health, but most parents (and teachers) aren’t talking to kids about it — and when they do, they’re often unprepared to handle the emotional side. The guide is structured as a navigable reference (organized by situation — “I don’t know where to start,” “my child is angry,” “we survived extreme weather,” etc.) rather than a linear read.
