• Emotions: What are the emotional responses to climate change and peak oil? Does "eco-anxiety" exist? How does one maintain optimism and motivation in the face of media narratives of crisis? How can psychologists and mental health professionals address the economic and emotional legacies of environmental damage?
• Ethics: Do psychologists, and those working in other mental health fields, have an ethical responsibility to address questions of climate change and environmental sustainability? Are there links between environmental conditions, such as climate change and peak oil, and mental health? Should the ethics codes of mental health disciplines be modified to recognize the value of the natural environment in promoting emotional well-being? Do we have an ethical imperative to protect the rights of other species and future generations?
• Behavior Change: What research and clinical practices are most effective in reinforcing and promoting behavioral changes? Do small behavior changes lead to larger, more comprehensive changes? Do values have to change in order for behaviors to change? What is the best way to frame change messages? What is the most effective way to communicate difficult information about our environmental situation?

Day two of the conference, a series of workshops will explore the three panel topics in greater depth, from the perspectives of teaching, research, therapy, activism, and spirituality.

Day three of the conference, participants will have the option to engage in a restorative experience or to work in groups on issues generated by the conference panels and workshops.
