Debate: Between Loss and Hope: Mental Health in the Face of the Climate Crisis
Following the screening of “The Unfixing,” we invite you to a discussion on mental health in the face of the climate crisis. The conversation, combining the director’s personal perspective with the broader context of climate change, will explore the interdependence of the human condition and the Earth.
Participants will explore phenomena such as climate anxiety, depression, and climate distress, as well as the role of nature and biodiversity in building mental resilience. The discussion will focus not only on challenges but, above all, on finding sources of hope, a sense of empowerment, and opportunities for healing.
The conversation will be led by Małgorzata Gołota, a journalist and podcaster known for her programs “The End of the World”, “Climate of Change” and “Get Eco.” Her guests will include:
- Nicole Betancourt, director of the film “The Unfixing,” whose personal experience with illness became the starting point for creating a visual diary connecting the suffering of the body with the condition of the planet.
- Marzena Cypryańska-Nezlek, social psychologist at SWPS University, expert in climate change, social innovation, and burnout among activists.
