TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Our house is on fire: child and adolescent psychiatrists in the era of the climate crisis JO - Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry A1 - Pinsky, Elizabeth A1 - Guerrero, Anthony P. S. A1 - Livingston, Richard SP - 580 EP - 582 VL - 59 IS - 5 N2 - The global climate crisis has arrived and is impacting pediatric mental health in the form of children facing more frequent and severe weather-related trauma, experiencing climate-related deprivation and displacement, and experiencing anxiety and grief related to inevitable losses to come. Child and adolescent psychiatrists must respond: we are care providers to individuals and families in distress; we are contributors to the crisis through our own emissions; and we are potential mediators of the crisis, somewhat uniquely, as we work to instill agency and hope.
