Mental Health and Climate Change
Giselle Perez ‘23 and I spent the majority of the pandemic drafting a resolution about the mental health effects of the climate crisis, along with Kate Roney ('20), Meagan Lashinski ('21), and Reese Lashinski (Newman '21). In this school year, Giselle and I have taken the reins on this project, and we've been meeting with a congressional representative with the goal of getting them to introduce our resolution to the house.
Through our research, it became incredibly clear that climate change is extremely destructive to the mental health of youth. As we approach the last of our resolution revisions, we need endorsements from both organizations and individuals. We want congress to support us in addressing this issue, and I'm sure you do too!
Here is a petition to sign if you want to individually endorse this resolution. We encourage every one of you to sign it!
