This is the best summary I could come up with:
With catastrophic weather events rapidly becoming the norm each year in Canada and around the world, young people are increasingly worried about their futures.
Speaking to CBC News in Victoria, with a haze of wildfire smoke hanging in the backdrop, Hannah Fessler, 16, expressed worry about people her age left to deal with problems created by previous generations.
Such accounts from teenagers like Fessler and Silva augment research studies that illustrate how climate change is impacting young people's mental health.
As weather events threaten to change entire landscapes in coming decades, experts worry that mental health resources might fall short of meeting people's needs.
The consensus within the Canadian Psychological Association is that the prevalence of climate anxiety will worsen in the next few years, according to a spokesperson for the organization, and there are not enough mental health professionals available to meet this growing need.
It's tough to gauge whether call volumes increase in times of natural disasters, she said, but Martin speculates that a 30-per-cent spike in contacts to Kids Help Phone in June could have been driven by climate change-induced incidents.
