Mental health and psychosocial impacts of climate change – including increased PTSD, depression, and anxiety – are increasingly recognized as a critical impact of the climate crisis. Although the climate crisis is a global phenomenon affecting millions, existing literature predominantly captures individual psychopathological impacts. To date, here is limited understanding of the collective nature of climate change and its individual, interpersonal, community, and societal level impacts. Further, limited literature has discussed both the “collective” nature of these impacts, while also examining their inequitable nature from an intersectional lens. This perspective piece introduces a conceptualization of the climate crisis as a multi-level, collective traumatic phenomenon, with implications that include individual mental health but extend far beyond to communities, cultures, and society. We integrate Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems, collective trauma, and intersectionality theory to briefly illustrate the psychosocial impacts of and interventions for climate change at the individual (micro), family (meso), community (exo), society (macro) and chronological (chrono) levels. This overarching framework is then used to discuss possible clinical and community interventions, and recommendations for future research on the climate crisis.
