CBT is key in addressing the mental health impacts of the climate and ecological emergency. This SIG within the BABCP offers a platform for experts to come together to drive evidence-based solutions to tackle climate change.

Focus Areas

  • Promoting the development of relevant CBT theory and practice, providing a forum for discussing climate change and its impact on mental health
  • Offering CBT training for climate-related distress, and developing a non-pathologising approach to climate responses.
  • To apply Cognitive Behavioural Science and Practice to the challenge of climate change, and contribute to the development of new models and protocols
  • To bring together BABCP members with concern for this, so that they can act as ambassadors and pool their expertise and resources
  • To support members in CBT research, training and therapy, both clinically and in the workplace, to work with the challenges of climate change and promote sustainable practises
  • To contribute to national and international debate where CBT might assist with meeting the challenges of the climate emergency, through engagement with the media, government and public.
