‘During these times of change, it’s more important than ever to come together and find shared understanding. Our collective challenge is to seek out meaning amidst the transformations brought about by the climate crisis,’ said Dr Jean Renouf, CEO of Plan C in a press release.
‘How can we grow, adapt, and find purpose in our shared experiences?’ he asks. Saying it is these questions that they will be discussing at the Facing Up event with the help of local psychotherapist and Healing Hub manager, Ruth Rosenhek.
