S2 E1: Eco-Anxiety & Misinformation

Do headlines about the climate crisis make you feel uneasy? Or maybe it’s the spread of climate change denial that feels frustrating.

In this first episode of the Big Melt mini-series, you’ll hear from youth voices sharing how they stay informed, and stay grounded in the face of eco-anxiety.   This mini-series was created by youth, for youth, in partnership with Kids Help Phone’s National Youth Council, and Earth Rangers’ ER Teens.   If you’re worried about climate change, there are things you can do to prioritize your wellbeing and get support.
