This chapter explores how social workers can sustain their mental health and that of others amid the emotional weight of ecological collapse. Climate change brings not only physical destruction but deep psychological and existential strain. Social workers, as both helpers and co-experiencers of this shared trauma, face the challenge of remaining grounded while the systems around them falter. Using the metaphor of being the rock in the stream, the chapter reframes resilience not as denial or detachment, but as grounded presence, steady enough to withstand the current while supporting others to find their footing. It outlines the psychological dimensions of climate distress-trauma, anxiety, grief, and anger and discusses how these emotions can both hinder and motivate action.
