Participants on my field trips raise the issue of #Climateanxiety & the sense of overwhelming dread/hopelessness in the face of political inaction. @ClarePitt2 @DrKimNorris & @GrettaPecl provide valuable insights through this research to consider how practitioners may respond

- Climate anxiety interventions need to include the community and society level
- Climate-aware practitioners are required
and connection to others and nature can also be considered important

[Clare Pitt @ClarePitt2]

Responses from participants suggest the following:
- Climate anxiety is a healthy response to the current situation
- Climate anxiety will continue to increase until there is climate action
- Climate anxiety interventions should be individualised
