ABOUT US
Who Are We?
The Luna Moth Circle is an intergenerational network of scholars, community groups, and youth organizations dedicated to advancing climate change education, mental health expertise, and strengthening the capacity of professionals who support children, youth and families.
Why was the Luna Moth Circle created?
We aim to fill a critical gap: the lack of specialized resources and support for professionals working with families and youth facing the growing mental health impacts of climate change.
