| dc.description.abstract | Introduction and aim: The human made climate crisis is a threat to the physical and mental health of people. Research shows an increase in various mental distresses like climate- anxiety and depression, particularly in young people. Due to their development stage, this age group is vulnerable and therefore needs to be supported. This study aims to provide recommendations of action for young adults to mitigate or counteract mental distress caused by the climate crisis. Methods: Five expert interviews with psychologists from Switzerland, Germany and England were conducted, as well as three semi-structured interviews with young adults. The interviews were transcribed and then coded using reflexive thematic content analysis. Results: The analysis revealed ten recommendations of action. Hereby, joint actions with others, therapy, hope and strengthening resilience were identified to be most potent to mitigate mental distress in young people. Discussion: It became obvious that measures to prevent mental distress caused by the climate crisis occur on the social and individual level. Social actions like community building, activism and conversations are beneficial to increase mental. Additionally, the importance of setting boundaries and everyday activism was proven to help best on a personal level. However, the small sample size and homogeneity of experts limit the transferability of the identified recommendations of action. | de_CH |
