Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety reading group pack
34% of the British public reported feeling anxious because of the environmental emergency. Jessica Kingsley publishing is offering reading groups a digital activity pack based on the book Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety, which shows you how to harness these emotions, validate them, and transform them into positive action.
About Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety
It’s hard to watch the news, scroll through social media, or listen to the radio without hearing or seeing something disturbing about the climate emergency. This can trigger all sorts of emotions: worry, anger, sadness, guilt, and even grief but also often over-looked positive emotions like motivation, connection, care, and abundance that support mental health and climate action for sustainable longevity.
Written by psychologists with extensive experience in treating people with eco-anxiety, this book shows you how to harness these emotions, validate them, and transform them into positive action. It enables you to assess and understand your psychological responses to the climate crisis and move away from unhealthy defence mechanisms, such as denial and avoidance. Ultimately, it shows that the solution to both climate anxiety and the climate crisis is the same – action that is sustainable for you and for the planet – and empowers you to take steps towards this.
What is involved
The digital activity pack will include:
- Activities and worksheets from the book which offers practical and sustainable advice to help combat climate anxiety
- A library/school poster to print
- A video from the authors, Megan and Patrick, introducing the book.
These materials are designed to be used independently or together with your reading group members. By requesting a pack, you are agreeing to share your feedback on the materials and how you used them via a short online survey by Friday 20 May. One group who shares their feedback by the deadline will win 10 copies of the book.
To request a pack, please log in and enter your details into the survey linked below by Tuesday 5 April. All groups who enter their details will receive a pack on Wednesday 6 April.
