Resumo
Este artigo foca nos impactos das mudanças climáticas na saúde mental de jovens e adultos/as, especificamente os/as estudantes universitários/as de programas relacionados com o meio ambiente. A metodologia photovoice foi utilizada como ferramenta de recolha de dados e analisada como potencial intervenção para gerir os impactos na saúde mental relacionado com o clima e empoderar os/as jovens. Os/As jovens envolvidos/as experimentaram diversos impactos na saúde mental relacionados com as mudanças climáticas, derivados de experiências, incluindo a própria educação ambiental. Para lidar com isso, os/as participantes recorreram a fontes primárias de resiliência, incluindo passar tempo na natureza, participar de atividades na comunidade, promover ações ambientais e praticar reflexão consciente. O estudo a partir da metodologia photovoice reflete elementos-chave dessas estratégias de coping e os/as jovens experimentaram melhorias subjetivas na saúde mental e bem-estar, desenvolvendo empoderamento. Concluímos, recomendando a gestão dos impactos na saúde mental relacionados com as mudanças climáticas, melhorando o apoio à saúde mental em instituições pós-secundárias.
