The climate crisis is having a profound impact on the mental health of young aussies, especially those on the frontline. We are seeing increasing rates of burnout, climate-distress and disengagement from the movement all together. If we want to create a sustainable planet, we need the skills to take action in a way that sustains us rather than depleats us so we can be in this for the long haul.
Practical, evidence-informed workshops giving individuals & communities the tools to regulate stress, process climate emotions, support each other & sustain long-term impact.
Anyone feeling the impacts of the climate crisis and trying to create change whether through volunteering, work or study.
The Certificate is made up of 3 x 90min modules (workshops). These can be delivered online or in-person through a full day intensive or over a number of weeks.
The Modules
Module 1 - Looking after yourself
Understand climate stress & burnout, how to complete the stress cycle & build a personal wellbeing toolkit
Module 2 - Looking after each other
Learn emotional co-regulation & peer support skills, & build community care tools to sustain impact
Module 3 - Looking after the planet
Discover active hope & build a personal theory of change - mapping purpose, energy & boundaries
"This program helped me realise that slowing down and taking care of myself wasn't selfish, it was courageous, and one of the most impactful things I could do for climate action."
- Youth Activist
"This course was immensely useful - it has helped me feel more confident in my climate action, and learn how pace myself so my action can be sustainable. I'd recommend this for anyone interested in climate action, but particularly to leaders who want to create an organisation culture which model self care and does not perpetuate cultures of burnout and self sacrifice."

"The three week Ecomind certificate has completely transformed my approach to changemaking as one of extraction to one of energy. The community space that was facilitated by Georgia and Court was open and authentic. We were able to share with respect and vulnerability."
