Join Amy Thompson, from the Alberta Council of Environmental Education to talk about hopeful, helpful ways to address the discomfort climate change can cause within us all. This session helps teachers to support student’s emotions, and provide direction to shift the conversation from despair to hope, turning anxiety into action. Alberta’s science curriculum requires that climate change be addressed beginning in Grade 6, but this session will help all teachers to feel more comfortable when the topic comes up in other grades and through other outcomes.*Please note that mental health professionals do not facilitate this workshop and will not be providing medical advice
