Climate extremes and disasters are placing growing mental health burdens on whole communities through trauma, chronic stress, displacement, eco-anxiety, and disruption of social support systems. These impacts are often greatest among people living in conflict-affected settings, including older adults, children, Indigenous communities, Veterans, and people with existing mental health challenges. This session will explore how communities can better address these mental health needs by integrating technology with lived experience. We will highlight the potential of digital tools, tele-mental health, early warning systems, group- and community-level interventions, and community-informed data to improve access, response, and recovery. We will also emphasize the value of lived experience in shaping mental health support that is empathetic, trusted, and grounded in real-world needs. By bringing together innovation and human experience, this session will identify practical strategies for strengthening community resilience and building more inclusive mental health systems in the face of climate extremes.
