Silvia Purdie is a counsellor and the network co-ordinator for Climate Mental Health Aotearoa, an inter-disciplinary network addressing the hauora impacts of climate change in Aotearoa. The network aims to equip people for the human impacts of climate change, including anxiety for the future, post-disaster trauma, heat effects, anger, grief, and loss. They use mediums such as webinars, hui, climate cafes, and newsletters to raise awareness, share research, and create conversation spaces. The network functions as a Tangata Tiriti organisation, with a foundational commitment to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi, recognising that human health is inseparable from environmental health. Purdie initiated the formation of the network in 2024, building on earlier discussions and events related to climate psychology in Aotearoa.
