The US is experiencing both a mental health and a climate crisis that are linked in many ways. Current approaches have failed to meaningfully address both crisis. Using extensive research, interviews with program leaders, and examples, Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas is describes how community-based, culturally tailored, population-level mental wellness and resilience-building initiatives are preventing and healing social, psychological, emotional, ands behavioral problems generated by the climate crisis and other adversities as local residents also engage in local solutions to the challenges they face. I coordinate the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC), which is a network of organizations working to prevent and heal the mental health and psychosocial impacts generated by accelerating climate-related toxic stresses, emergencies, and disasters (website: https://itrcoalition.org/). Our National Steering Committee includes the American Psychiatric Association, American Public Health Association, National Association of Social Workers, The Prevention Institute, and many others national groups, as well as many state and community-based organizations. Through my work coordinating the ITRC for the past 10 years it became evident that our nation's current approach to mental health, which involves providing mental health services to individuals only after they experience mental health conditions, cannot address today's social, psychological, emotional, and behavioral problems (this is becoming very evident on a daily basis now). We also determined that our current approach to mental health has zero chance of preventing or healing the problems speeding our way due to the accelerating climate crisis. This led to a 2 year intensive research project into approaches that can prevent and heal widespread social, psychological, emotional, and behavioral problems generated by constant toxic stresses and acute traumas. I found that it is possible to prevent and heal mental health struggles by using a public health approach in communities--not individualized clinical treatment--by build population-level capacity for mental wellness and transformational resilience. Using extensive research, interviews with practitioners, and ample examples, in the book I describe what a public health approach to mental wellness and transformational resilience in communities involves, along with the four core focuses successful community-led initiatives tend to use. They actively engage residents in: a) building robust social support networks across economic, cultural, and geographic boundaries; b) making a "just transition" by regenerating local physical/built, economic, and ecological systems; c) learning how traumas and toxic stresses can affect their body, mind, emotions, and behaviors, as well as simple age and culturally tailored mental wellness and resilience skills; and d) participating in group and community-minded therapeutic processes that help residents heal their traumas. These actions build community cohesion and efficacy as residents also engage in local solutions to the climate emergency and other challenges. Individualized mental health services are included in some of the community-based initiatives, but they play a small supportive role and are reserved for people who cannot function or are at risk of harming themselves or others. I wrote the book for grassroots, civic, non-profit, private, and public sector leaders in the mental health, human services, disaster management, climate, faith, education, and other professionals, as well as members of the public concerned about these issues and elected officials. Given the heightened public awareness of our nation''s mental health and climate crisis, your audience might be very interested in hearing that it is possible to address the problems by using a public health approach in communities.
