THE BASICS: An Evening Discussion on Supporting Youth in Uncertain Times

Monday, January 12, 2026 – 6:00-7:30pm MST
Virtual, via Zoom
Cost: Free!

Looking for climate action that makes sense for your family?
As trusted adults, we want to help kids feel safe and hopeful. In the face of climate uncertainty, how do we offer a sense of security?

Do you want to inspire hope in children, but struggle with it yourself? Are you unsure how to talk to children about the climate crisis in a way that’s honest and age-appropriate? Are you wondering how to nurture resilience so they’re prepared for changes ahead.

This 75-minute virtual discussion will cover the basics of building climate resilience in your family. What you will learn:

• Grounding practices to share with your kids

• An understanding of how to have the hard conversations

• Support in taking meaningful action

In partnership with PEN, join CERI faculty, Kristan Childs and Teddy Kellam, for heart-centered conversations that offer guidance, tools, and support for navigating these complex questions with compassion and clarity.

The event is co-hosted by:

Parent Engagement Network (PEN), with a mission to support parents in raising healthy, happy humans.

Climate Emotional Resilience Institute (CERI) – CERI creates spaces, tools, and trainings that help people feel more grounded, connected, and capable in the face of the climate crisis and overlapping global challenges.
