A critical concern is the link between climate and behavioral health, most notably through the increased frequency and impact of climate-related disasters. Disaster behavioral health professionals can help communities cope with unpredictable climate challenges and build resilience. This issue of The Dialogue from the SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center (DTAC) highlights various community responses to the growing impacts of climate on disaster behavioral health. It features best practices and information from the field to support the development and promotion of mitigation and community resilience strategies.
