Latino Coalition for a Healthy California’s Post

“ During National Public Health Week, we celebrate the life-saving care of public health professionals who work tirelessly to promote our country’s health, safety, and well-being. We recognize that the healthier Americans are as individuals, the stronger we are as a Nation. In the last few years, we have made enormous progress in recovering from the pandemic, vaccinating 230 million Americans and getting kids back in school. None of that would have been possible without the courage and dedication of millions of first responders and social workers, doctors and nurses, and scientists and researchers. Public health professionals have always played an essential role in the life of our Nation — working to boost immunizations, improve safety standards for food and transportation, protect clean air and water, and more. We owe them for carrying us through tough times and making our country healthier and more prosperous long-term. We have to help make their jobs easier by investing in the health of the American people.”WH.Gov

I will be moderating this months webinar! Be sure to join to hear ways to take your research to the next step🪜💻📑📌

I had the opportunity to attend this webinar today – it was a great session focused on addressing eco-anxiety in the workplace, and I highly recommend giving it a watch. Here are a few key takeaways from my perspective: Many employees may be feeling a sense of hopelessness in the face of climate change. As employers, we need to confront head-on any stigma or shame associated with eco-anxiety: -Normalize climate emotions; it isn’t an individual experience and shouldn’t be pathologized -Make sure mental health services offered by the company are prepared to deal with eco-anxiety -Train supervisors at all levels on the types of support offered to employees -Foster a sense of positive hope, including how employees can take actionable steps in their community Don’t let silence trick you into thinking nothing is going on. Significant populations of employees may be feeling these emotions but may also feel uncomfortable talking about it for a variety of reasons.
