Testimonials
"The two-day workshop helped us to open up about our grief after losing so much in the Tathra and District Fire. It was so important to do this as a group, to see how others were coping, hurting, healing. The facilitators from Psychology for a Safe Climate made a very safe space for us to explore our responses and share the stories of our various experiences. We felt really supported and respected.”
Jo DoddsPresident, Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action
“Psychology for a Safe Climate ran some
fantastic mindfulness workshops with
Environment Victoria helping us look after
ourselves so we can keep trying to look
after the world.”
Mark WakehamFormer CEO, Environment Victoria
"Workshops from PSC are an amazing way to share our feelings, fears and hopes with our colleagues, to get to know each other better and to discover we all go through similar struggles. These sessions enabled difficult topics to come out in a safe environment which led to feel-good moments and a shared sense of relief. We highly recommend their services!"

"The workshop with Psychology for a Safe Climate gave us the skills to manage our emotions about the climate crisis so we could be more effective as an advocacy organisation. This is essential, vital work."
Greg FoysterCommunications Manager, Environment Victoria
"Psychology for a Safe Climate provided a workshop for our staff. Having support in the middle of a COVID lockdown felt even more important, and helped us to remember to look after ourselves so that we can continue to deliver our work effectively."
Madeline TownsendPeople & Culture Manager, Beyond Zero Emissions
"A small team from Slap Tomorrow, sat through, and enjoyed, a workshop organised by PSC… People were drawn (literally) into exploring how they personally felt about the crisis, actually illustrating those feelings … The group emerged feeling emotionally stronger and more able to continue with their efforts to help others better understand the crisis and how they can become involve with mitigation and adaption efforts."
