In a sane world, the parents, teachers, politicians, and news media would be charged with child abuse for how they turn children into mental messes.
Study: Climate change affects mental health of young Oregonians
Anger. Guilt. Shame.
Young people in Oregon say they’re experiencing these emotions as they face the impacts of climate change, according to a study released on Tuesday by the Oregon Health Authority.
The agency’s report, Climate Change and Youth Mental Health in Oregon, highlights how extreme weather events like wildfires, heatwaves, snowstorms and drought are creating fear, frustration, and hopelessness among young people. OHA partnered with the University of Oregon’s suicide prevention unit to host virtual focus groups with people between ages 15 and 25 and interviewed professionals working in mental health, education and public health.
“We want to see more youth mental health support in schools and in our communities,” Mecca Donovan, a 23-year-old from Eugene, said. “We want to see youth invited to the table and decision making.”
Donovan, who helped host the focus groups, said she wants to see more accountability and acknowledgment of the challenges young people are facing.
Please go read it all. Our kids are being fed a steady diet of impending doom and catastrophe and yeah, that will cause them problems. Maybe the climate scam artists could consider their responsibility for their irresponsible rhetoric?
