Description
The climate crisis is making us all unwell. But it's not just you. The climate crisis is affecting certain communities disproportionately. In "It's Not Just You", activist Tori Tsui reframes eco-anxiety as the urgent mental health crisis it clearly is. Drawing on the wisdom of environmental advocates from around the globe, Tori looks to those on the frontlines of eco-activism to demonstrate that the current climate-related mental health struggle goes beyond the climate itself. This book argues that we can only begin to tackle both the climate and mental health crisis by diversifying our perspectives and prioritising community-led practices. By examining the intersections of mental health and the climate crisis, Tori Tsui reminds us that tackling this increasingly urgent crisis requires looking both inwards and outwards, embracing individuality over individualism and championing climate justice. Tackling the climate crisis and mental health crisis requires a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between these issues. "It's Not Just You" offers a powerful and timely perspective on this critical topic, one that highlights the need for a more inclusive and equitable approach to addressing these crises.
