Are you worried about the future in relation to climate change threats? Climate anxiety is a growing mental health issue among both lecturers and students in sustainability-related fields in universities worldwide. The increase in climate anxiety in recent years has contributed to the need for educational institutions to address it properly.

During the lecture, the overview of recent research findings will be presented (including student voices from Uppsala University), with recommendations and open discussion questions related to this topic.

PhD Oleksandra Khalaim is a researcher and a lecturer at SWEDESD - Sustainability Learning and Research Center and Department of Women's and Children's Health at Uppsala University.

Time: Monday 9 October, 16:15–17:15

Do you sometimes feel lost or stuck in your life? Do you long to be valued and heard?

Gestalt therapy focuses on you and these questions, just as you are in the “here and now”. How one meets the world is a result of many past experiences. What happens inside you when you struggle, in your mind, your body and your soul? What stories do you embody and hold? Working with a Gestalt therapist who is trained in using dialogue, art, drama etc., can yield important awareness and open a path to understanding yourself and becoming more authentically you.

Jill Trenholm PhD is a lecturer and researcher at IMCH (International Maternal and Child Health) at Uppsala Universit and a Gestalt therapist.
