    Managing Eco-Anxiety and The Role of Green Space

    In this episode of Breaking The Barriers, we explore eco-anxiety: what it is, where it comes from, and how it can impact our mental health in today’s world. As conversations around climate change and environmental responsibility continue to grow, so do the feelings of stress, uncertainty, and overwhelm that can come with it. We take time to unpack those emotions and talk through practical, realistic ways to manage them. We also dive into the role that nature can play in supporting our overall well-being. From spending intentional time outdoors to building a healthier relationship with the environment, this episode highlights how reconnecting with nature can serve as a powerful form of self-care. Joined by Mary Ellen Mallia and Calista Nelson from the Office of Sustainability, this conversation offers insight into how we can stay grounded while still staying informed. Together, we explore ways to take meaningful action in sustainability efforts, find balance between awareness and action, and remind ourselves that even small steps can make a difference.
