ECOMIND

Launched in August 2024, ECOMIND is Australia’s leading youth climate mental health and wellbeing charity. We exist because climate change is having a profound impact on the mental health, wellbeing and agency of young Australians – where 70% of young Aussies say climate change impacts their mental health. Right now, the emotional and psychological toll of the climate crisis is seeing increased rates of anxiety, distress and burnout in the next generation.

Our vision is a future where sustainable minds = sustainable planet. Our mission is therefore to empower the next generation to sustainably care for themselves, each other & the planet. We do this by giving young Aussies the toolkit they need to process complex climate emotions, look after their mental health and engage sustainably in climate action. Your support will help us deliver this toolkit, which includes our:

– Climate Mental Health Certificate: Certified psychoeducational training for climate active young people
– Climate Cafes: Peer-support groups for climate conversations to foster empathy and connection
– Advocacy, storytelling and research: to transform climate & mental health conversations, cultures & systems
