NOTE: This month’s meeting has been changed to June 21, not the last Tuesday of the month. We will return to our normal meeting date in July.

Bob Doppelt, Executive Director, The Resource Innovation Group, and adjunct instructor in the Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management at the University of Oregon will share information from his recently released book titled Transformational Resilience: How building human resilience to climate disruption can safeguard society and increase wellbeing.

Applying a trauma-informed mental health and psychosocial perspective, Transformational Resilience offers a groundbreaking approach to responding to climate disruption. The book describes how climate disruption traumatizes societies and how effective responses can catalyze positive learning, growth, and change.

• First book to analyze mental health and psychosocial impacts of climate change
• Explores practical methodologies for addressing these issues
• Speaks to those in public, private, and not-for-profit sectors worldwide

The presentation will be followed by book signings.
