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
