Breathing Space: eco-anxiety support network
Running fortnightly and open for all students, staff, and the public.
Has the climate crisis got you feeling anxious? Our Breathing Space drop-ins are welcoming and inclusive spaces, led by trained eco-anxiety facilitators, aiming to bring people together who:
- Share a concern about the climate and ecological crises and hope for a better future for our planet.
- Share a desire to discuss these feelings with others, and in the process gain and provide encouragement, support, and solidarity.
- Share an interest in exploring our passions, what gifts we bring to the table, and how we can take meaningful action to address climate change, personally and collectively.
- Find out more about Breathing Space, exo-anxiety and our other sustainability initiatives by emailing sustainability@falmouth.ac.uk
