A word of caution.

Zaria is not a licensed therapist and Warmly, Zaria is not a place for emergency help if you are feeling like you might harm yourself or others. In the US, if you are in crisis, call 988 or chat online with a live crisis counselor 24/7.

Thoughtful responses.

The newsletter is not meant to replace traditional mental health counseling — it provides a virtual space to explore some of our time's most pressing climate-oriented questions.

A sense of community.

The ultimate goal is for the newsletter, and the questions you submit, to bring us closer to one another through our shared experience of living through and experiencing a changing climate. From how to navigate the mental health impacts of climate doomism to how to have healthy, climate-conscious conversations with family or friends — Warmly, Zaria aims to provide some support and guidance.

We're so glad you're here on this journey with us.
