In-person climate grief/anxiety support group
Jessica Kleiss
See the message below from a Professional Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Lewis & Clark. There is a workshop on Wednesdays evenings (6-8pm) from mid-April to late June for an in-person climate grief & eco-anxiety peer support group this spring through the Good Grief Network at the L&C Graduate Campus. It is quite cost effective, at $25 per session, or $200 for all 10 sessions, with scholarships available.

Subject: Can you help me share L&C climate grief/anxiety support group info?
Environmental Studies faculty,
Hello! My name is Katia Kupelian, and I’m a current Professional Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Lewis & Clark. I’m reaching out because I’m facilitating an in-person climate grief & eco-anxiety peer support group this spring through the Good Grief Network at the L&C Graduate Campus. The group is open to the L&C community and beyond
As you well know, students and professionals focused on environmental issues are carrying a great deal right now: grief, pressure, urgency, and fatigue connected to the climate crisis and broader ecological challenges. This group is designed as a space to unburden some of that weight, feel less alone in it, and build emotional resilience alongside others engaged with these issues.
What this is:
Supportive, small-group meetings following Good Grief Network’s 10-Step Program. Together we’ll process climate emotions, share openly, and explore practices that help transform overwhelm into meaning, steadiness, and connection — something many people working in environmental fields find deeply needed.
Who it’s for:
Anyone — students, professionals, and community members at L&C and beyond — who feels burnt out, disconnected, or demoralized by the climate crisis and related social/ecological challenges, and who would benefit from a space to reflect and reconnect to purpose in community.
What sessions include:
Group sharing, grounding practices, journaling, poetry, and thoughtful resources. The space will be co-facilitated by me and Frances Star; both of us are certified facilitators with Good Grief Network.
