When examining the adverse impacts of climate change on health and existing inequities, the aspect of mental health is vital to discuss, as well as potential solutions to address these issues. In this webinar, Dr. Katrina Peters, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF and Region VI Trustee at National Medical Association, will discuss the impacts of climate change as it relates to mental health such as: increases in violence, the effects of those on psychiatric medications, and the impacts to our most vulnerable populations. Dr. Carissa Cabán-Alemán, Founding Member of Climate Psychiatry Alliance & CrearConSalud, Inc. and Assistant Professor of Florida International University, will share her community work in climate change, social inequities, and the link to mental health, including her work in Puerto Rico.
