Melbourne-based Psychology for a Safe Climate group to facilitate workshops on climate change conversations

Talking to people in her life about the changing climate, Grace Langmead often feels defeated by the emotion and opposition she encounters.

The Wodonga woman hopes to find a solution to this in the first workshop on the Border held by the Melbourne-based Psychology for a Safe Climate group.

“It's difficult having those conversations,” she said.

“What I find is it very quickly gets heated and your friends and family becoming upset about it, so you drop it.

“I start to feel I just don’t want to talk about it.”

Wodonga Albury Towards Climate Health member Lizette Salmon, who co-ordinated the workshops, said she wanted to break this barrier.
