In a recent article published in PLOS Climate, CSDE Affiliate Jessica Acolin (Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences) and co-authors present a framework for addressing adolescent and young adult mental health and distress related to climate change. The framework was developed through qualitative focus groups with experts who offered disciplinary perspectives across public health, epidemiology, community-based organizations, and clinical mental health practice. Three interdisciplinary themes emerged: Knowledge Generation (increasing scientific knowledge about the causes, consequences, and prevalence of climate distress and viable treatments); Framing and Communication (providing realistic hope without creating undue distress); and Resource Allocation (expanding funding and creative strategies for addressing mental health concerns given limited resources). Centering most-impacted populations and focusing on systemic rather than individual change emerged as meta-themes or guiding principles.
