Like so many people, you may be struggling with the fear, anxiety, anger and grief of experiencing or seeing natural disasters and climate breakdown impacting our world. You may have been directly impacted by bushfires, floods or storms. Or perhaps you fear that such natural and human-made disasters may threaten your safety in the future.

This course will give you a supported space and targeted skills to develop resilience in handling the difficult emotions, stress and despondency that are natural responses to such local and global changes and threats.

You'll learn the skills to:
• Calm your nervous system and be present and focused during stressful times
• Manage and be with your own emotions about climate change, disasters and other life challenges
• Be able to handle uncomfortable and challenging things – in life and the world.

• Develop good feelings like gratitude, joy, happiness, contentment and calm.

This course is free for disaster-affected residents of the Central Coast and Hunter regions through funding from the Primary Healthcare Network.
