Justice is not an add-on

Across all of CPA's events, training, and professional spaces, justice, anti-discrimination, and decolonial thinking are integral, not optional. We believe climate psychology has to reckon with the histories that brought us here: racism, colonialism, extraction, and the unequal distribution of harm that continues to shape who is most affected by the climate crisis.

This shows up in how we design our training, the frameworks we draw on, and the conversations we make space for.

Through the door

A one-day experiential workshop for psychotherapists, counsellors, and health practitioners exploring how to be present in the climate crisis and find new ways into the future.

Climate café listening circle (run by Bristol Climate Café Collective)

A supportive group space where people can come together to share their feelings about the climate and ecological crises. Join us upstairs at the Steam Crane for a climate cafe listening circle - a space to share thoughts and feelings about the climate and nature crises. There are no special guests or speeches, and nobody gives advice. We just listen to each other and share our own experience. Sometimes it's hard to talk about these things because they can bring up a lot of difficult feelings - a climate cafe listening circle provides the opportunity to talk about these feelings and thoughts in a safe and supportive environment with two facilitators We meet once a month. It's free to attend and you can buy a drink at the bar to bring upstairs. Please arrive on time! This is in order to make the group a safe and comfortable space for talking about things that can feel difficult, so that we don't have interruptions once the session has begun. This climate cafe is offered in collaboration with the South Bristol Climate Hub.
