Great piece by @steph_dalzell. Reducing mental health treatment options isn't moving forward, it's leaving people behind. People not getting mental health treatment puts extra pressure on hospitals and first responders. Thank you @AustPsych for leading this important campaign.

According to @AustPsych psychologists have a major role to play in climate action because: 1️⃣ Climate change threatens both physical and mental health and wellbeing 2️⃣ Climate change is caused by human behaviour, and climate solutions require profound changes in these behaviours.
