"Climate mental health care and disaster mental health care are closely related but refer to different areas of practice & concern. However, sometimes they do overlap. Climate mental health focuses on psychological and emotional impacts of long-term climate change, including existential anxiety, chronic stress, grief, and intergenerational trauma on individuals, communities, and future generations.

Disaster mental health focuses on the psychological first aid/support and interventions needed in the aftermath of acute disasters, whether natural or human-made."
