Develop a plan for addressing climate anxiety

Where applicable, map out how your setting is going to acknowledge and help address the effects of climate anxiety within your school body. Use the results of your survey, along with feedback from the session around climate anxiety, to feed into this.

Come up with some strategies to promote advocacy and action, and fostering community support networks to empower individuals to make meaningful contributions towards addressing climate change.

It would be worthwhile to explore mental health resources and resilience-building techniques to help individuals cope with and manage their climate-related worries effectively.
