Free online Lunch & Learn- From Sorrow to Solidarity: How Honouring Ecological Grief Protects Mental Health & Mobilizes Climate Action

Join public health researcher Stephanie Olsen and eco-social worker Alana-Dawn Eirikson for a free lunch & learn on April 16, 2025 on coping with ecological grief and eco-anxiety. 

Refugia was recently chosen as the site of a University of Alberta research study that examined how practices for honouring ecological and climate grief can support wellbeing and deepen engagement with the climate crisis. This interactive and engaging session will highlight key findings from that research, and offer practical tools for honouring ecological grief and difficult climate emotions. 

This session is designed for individuals coping with ecological grief or eco-anxiety, practitioners who work with these issues, and for anyone interested in cutting edge research on supporting mental health in the face of climate change.
