Environmental Psychology and Sustainable Development: Expansion, Maturation, and Challenge

On October 23, 2023, the Counseling Unit, in collaboration with the Psychology Department, hosted a new event aimed at showcasing the significance of environmental psychology across various domains, including education, healthcare, counseling, and more. The event emphasized that as human beings, we are inherently interconnected with our environment, and our interactions with it play a pivotal role in addressing climate change. The event featured diverse sessions with different speakers, covering topics such as "Becoming a Leader of Change," "Establishing a Voluntary Team," "Exploring the Connection between Mental Health and the Environment," and "Social and Cultural Influences on Environmental Behavior." This occasion provided students with a platform to express their voices and perspectives, including a session which was presented by students from the Psychology Department. Their contributions aimed to raise awareness about the vital role of mental health and environmental psychology in creating a sustainable world.
