Discussion of Gen Z Mental Health Climate Stories

We are all affected by the climate crisis but some are more affected than most: Gen Z. Our youngest generation will live with the climate crisis their whole lives and this significantly impacts their mental health. Tune in to this broadcast to watch a documentary by the Climate Mental Health Network, Stranded Astronaut Productions, Paramount and Yea! Impact that explores how the climate crisis affects a few Gen Zers emotionally and mentally. Before the screening, we will also show an exclusive discussion with the Executive Director of the Climate Mental Health Network along with the film's director and two of the Gen Zers that are featured in the film.

Before the screening, we will show a discussion with some of the people behind the documentary. We will discuss why we need to talk about emotions in the climate dialogue, how filmmaking can inspire people to take action and share some personal stories about the emotional effects of the climate crisis and how we can take action to improve our mental health.
