Developed with the latest scientific research, the course is designed to build both personal and professional resilience—equipping learners with strategies to prevent burnout, provide compassionate and effective care, and support youth navigating the mental health impacts of a changing climate.
Through engaging original and curated content, learners will embark on a transformative journey. By following the emotional and developmental stages youth experience in response to climate change—from awareness to adaptation – learners will reflect on their own attitudes and beliefs and gain valuable insights and skills to thrive in their professional roles.
This self-paced, online micro-credential professional development course is designed to help learners acquire a unique blend of climate change knowledge, mental health expertise, and communication skills. Created by the Luna Moth Circle – an intergenerational team of academics, community, and youth organizations – the course offers a balanced, solution-oriented approach that centers both youth and professional perspectives.
