As the new UN IPCC climate report issued on August 9 states,
humanity is in the midst of a civilization-changing event. The book
will offer hope, inspiration, and a positive path forward to
billions of people in North America, the EU, and worldwide who
already are, or are certain in the near future, to experience
severe mental health and psycho-social-spiritual problems due to
being directly impacted by climate change-related disasters,
emergencies, and toxic stresses. It will also offer hope,
inspiration, and a positive path forward to the millions who are
experiencing intersectional traumas, vicarious (or secondary)
trauma, and eco-grief (or eco-anxiety) resulting from seeing
climate impacts from afar or worrying about what the future holds
for their children and them. The book will challenge the thinking
and approaches that dominate the mental health, disaster
management, and human services fields today by describing why
individually-focused clinical treatment, disaster mental health,
and direct service programs--which are crisis and illness, not
wellness and resilience focused--are woefully incapable of
preventing or healing climate change-generated individual and
collective traumas. It will also describe a proven empowering and
hopeful alternative: a public health and prevention science
approach to organizing community-based, culturally-tailored,
population-level wellness and resilience building initiatives for
relentless adversities in every community and region of North
America and worldwide. The book will offer a practical how-to guide
that civic, community, and government leaders can use to organize,
fund, facilitate, evaluate, and continually improve community-based
mental wellness and resilience initiatives that prevent and heal
individual and collective traumas and help people find meaning,
purpose, and realistic hope even as the global climate emergency
worsens.
