Protecting the Protectors We were proud to present our poster titled “Protecting the Protectors: Supporting the Mental Well-Being of Planetary Health Professionals” as part of our work on the HOPEN by ESSRG in ISEE2025-Degrowth conference in Oslo. As the climate and ecological crises deepen, environmental professionals — scientists, activists, students, policymakers — are on the frontlines. They bear witness to unfolding global challenges every day. The emotional toll is real: fear, grief, anxiety, and burnout are becoming all too common. That's why we created HOPEN: an adaptable mental well-being program offering workshops and trainings designed to cultivate emotional resilience in the era of polycrisis. 🛠️ With HOPEN, we aim to build a culture of care within the environmental field. Because those working for planetary health deserve support for their own well-being too. Let’s continue the conversation about how we can care for those who care for the planet. 💚 Read more on HOPEN here: https://lnkd.in/dKvNSJqc #MentalHealth #PlanetaryHealth #ClimateAnxiety #HOPEN #ESSRG #WellbeingAtWork #EcoGrief #Resilience Barbara Mihók Diana Szakál Financed by TRIGGER EU
