Description

Alicia Sewald is a hard-working, creative, and intelligent nurturer. She is a supportive connector and a bicultural, bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor. Formerly, as a teacher, she built three elementary-school Spanish programs in different private schools.  Climate migration refers to the displacement of individuals due to the adverse effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity. This phenomenon often leads to significant psychological and emotional impacts on those forced to leave their homes. The upheaval, loss of familiar surroundings, and uncertainty about the future can contribute to heightened levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.   Climate migrants often face challenges adapting to new environments, cultures, and social structures, exacerbating mental health issues. These mental health struggles highlight the urgent need for comprehensive policies that address climate migration's physical and psychological aspects. Adequate support systems, access to mental health services, and community resilience programs are essential to mitigate the negative mental health outcomes associated with climate-induced displacement.   Recognizing the interconnectedness of climate change, migration, and mental health is crucial for fostering a more compassionate and effective response to this pressing global challenge.
