About the Group
Are you grappling with the overwhelming emotions that climate change brings?
If you've ever felt anxious, sad, or overwhelmed ​about the impacts of climate change and the size ​of the challenges we face, you are not alone. We ​invite you to attend our Eco-Anxiety Peer ​Support Group - a place where our community ​can come together and grieve, share experiences, ​and navigate pathways forward that make space ​for hope.
Whether you’re struggling with climate dread, ​feeling powerless about environmental injustice, ​or just need a place to connect with similar ​people, this space is for you.
Our group is free and requires no registration. ​We meet bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings, from ​7-8:30pm, at Le Frigo Vert (1440 Rue Mackay). ​It is a wheelchair accessible space on the ground ​floor. More accessibility info is available here.
Our programs are a semester long, comprised of ​seven sessions. You can attend one, some, or all ​of these sessions. Our program is inspired by the ​3 R's framework of Rest, Recovery, and ​Resistance created by Shake Up The ​Establishment, a youth-led, non-partisan climate ​action organization. Read more about it here.
