Overview
CPD on the go® eLearning activities provide an opportunity to learn about diverse topics in short, flexible sessions that you can peruse at your own pace, wherever you are.
Climate change exposes many children and young adults to traumatic, extreme weather events, resource shortages, political unrest, and a growing refugee crisis. Indirectly, climate change engenders fear that our planet’s viability to sustain life is threatened: the future that young people might imagine for themselves is in jeopardy. The psychological impact of climate change through these direct and indirect effects is significant.
This activity explores the methods by which psychologists can assist young people to move from powerlessness to agency, and from distress to hope, adaptability and engagement. These measures are critical if we are going to prepare the next generation for the tasks at hand, particularly as success will require major transformations to the way we live, and can only be achieved through sustained, long-term action.
This activity contains a current evidence-based article followed by 10 questions to consolidate your learning. Together, a pass mark of 80% and completion of a reflection represents active* continuing professional development (CPD).
