Ph.D. candidate Émilie Tremblay is conducting research for her doctoral project “Impact of the Climate Crisis on the Mental Health of Young Adults in the Ottawa Region” which aims to understand how the current state of the climate crisis affects the mental health of young adult environmental activists. She is seeking actively engaged individuals to participate in this study. Specifically, those aged between 18 to 29 years old that self-identify their mental health as being affected by climate change to create digital stories about their experiences and participate in group discussions. The contribution of environmental activists offers great potential for initiating community dialogue on urgent and worrying issues such as the impact of environmental change and mental health.

- Identifies their mental health as being affected by the climate crisis
- Have the desire to share their experience and opinion on the issue
