The climate crisis is increasingly impacting mental health. As the climate crisis deepens, it is important for all of us to explore our thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the emergency so that we are better equipped to cope with and address it. 

Our upcoming Climate Cafe with Counselor Marilee Feldman, LCPC, CADC, will provide participants an open, safe, and respectful space in which participants can process their feelings about the climate crisis. We make room for each person's unique experiences, shaped by many factors, including systemic issues. The focus is on our emotional reactions to the crisis, not on climate activism. 

NEW: If you are planning to attend please bring an item from nature that means something to you. 

Marilee Feldman, LCPC, CADC, is the Illinois Regional Coordinator for Climate Psychology Alliance, a group of mental health professionals working to educate the public and mental health professionals about the impact of the climate crisis on mental health. She is the Founder and Clinical Director of Life Counseling Institute, a private practice located in Willowbrook and Park Ridge. 

We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation, please call 847.392.0100, text 847.665.1491 or email us at accessibility@ahml.info
