A free two-hour psychoeducational training facilitated by disaster mental health experts, Dr. April Naturale and Dr. Sander Koyfman of the nonprofit, Vibrant Emotional Health. This session provides the basic skills to effectively help those impacted by wildfires with acute stress responses.
Urban Wildfire Response and Recovery Webinar Series
The University of California sponsored a six-part webinar series for the UC community and the public titled “Urban Wildfire Response and Recovery Webinar Series,” focusing on the physical health, mental health and social impacts of wildfires, providing a blend of scientific information and practical skills, and highlighting environmental justice issues.
Climate Health Curriculum-Building Resources
We are excited to share a new climate and health education resource, developed by an interprofessional group of UC faculty and students as part of the Climate Ambassador project supported by the UC Center for Climate, Health and Equity. This is an evidence-based collection of resources, including:
- Competency-based curricular roadmaps with learning objectives for different levels of learners
- A resource library that provides well-respected and up to date resources to support curriculum development
- A collection of ready to use or adapt lectures and small groups with accompanying faculty guides
These resources are intended for use by medical educators in all health professions throughout the UC system and beyond. We hope you will use them and share them widely. This resource is licensed under Creative Commons.
If you would like to discuss best practices for using these materials, please email [email protected].
