Recent activities of the SIG Climate Crisis and Mental Health

The group was founded in 2023 and already initiated a variety of activities at this year’s EAPM meeting in Lausanne, including a workshop on how to address climate-related mental health problems in psychotherapy and a prize for the longest climate-friendly journal to the conference. Recently, we have formed a number of task forces on different topics such as the establishment of a journal club, integrating planetary health into healthcare professional curricula, preparing a manual for organizing sustainable and climate-friendly congresses and a paper based on the findings of our workshop. Moreover, we are again planning activities for the EAPM conference in Munich in September 2025. If you want to hear more about the topic or are interested in joining one of the working groups, we are very happy to welcome additional members and encourage you to get in touch with the group’s chairs Dr. Isolde Busch (isoldemartina.busch@univr.it) and Dr. Natalie Uhlenbusch (n.uhlenbusch@uke.de).
