Reading Club: The Mental Health Burden of Air Pollution

Reading clubs are a chance to talk about the science for health justice developed in our reports through a process of co-learning. Each reading club is a small event centred around a particular Urban Health Council report. The format encourages participants to share thoughts, critiques, experiences, and imaginations based on the topics presented.

We will be co-learning about the mental health issues associated with the experience of air pollution as well as the perceptions of environmental injustice.

The original report: https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/mental-distress-of-environmental-injustice

The report focused on 3 pathways between environmental injustice and health:

  1. the exposure to an environmental hazard,

  2. the perception of the hazard,

  3. the experience of injustice due to an environmental hazard.

FORMAT

There will be a brief introduction to the report, thereafter we will go into reading group(s) as this is a participatory event.
