Addressing Eco-anxiety among University Students

On behalf of the Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care…

A promotional graphic for the “Climate & Health Seminar Series” titled Addressing Eco‑anxiety among University Students. The event is scheduled for February 10 from 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET and is listed as hybrid. The graphic features circular portraits of two speakers labeled Dr. Simon Appolloni and Mallory Furlong. Below the portraits is a description explaining that many Canadian university students experience climate‑related emotions such as eco‑anxiety, and that the session will explore critical pedagogy combining climate knowledge with psychological resilience. Logos for the University of Toronto, the Collaboratory for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care, and CAMH appear at the bottom, along with a note that registration is available on Eventbrite.

Join the Collaborative Centre for Climate, Health & Sustainable Care for our upcoming Climate & Health seminar: What are we doing? Advancing a discussion of how university instructors can address eco-anxiety among their students featuring Dr. Simon Appolloni and Mallory Furlong. Many Canadian university students, especially those studying environmental issues, experience climate-related emotions such as eco-anxiety, which are often insufficiently addressed and can be inadvertently reinforced by some teaching approaches. This discussion will explore critical pedagogy that pairs climate knowledge with psychological resilience and hope to better prepare students for an uncertain future.
