Our mission
Frontline Resilience provides accessible, culturally-informed and evidence-based clinical and non-clinical mental health support to frontline climate activists.
By shifting the onus away from highly individualized and expensive healthcare models towards care that is delivered at no-cost to activists, we address the barriers and gaps that many people, particularly those from BIPOC and/or LGBTQ communities, face in finding and accessing mental healthcare that is climate-aware.
We provide direct individual services, group and organizational programs and integrated on-site support for activists engaged in events ranging from direct actions to COPs.
Our work is committed to increasing access to mental healthcare that supports activists in cultivating resilience, avoiding burnout and healing from the inevitable emotional distress of both activism and everyday life.
In turn, this strengthens the longevity, connection and effectiveness of both individual activists and their organizations in continuing their crucial work in organizing for climate justice.
Our team
Parker Bowling, LCSW, MSSW
Founder, psychotherapist and facilitator
Parker is a climate-aware psychotherapist, social worker, coach and facilitator working at the intersections of mental health, climate justice and engaged spirituality. He founded Frontline Resilience in 2025 in response to seeing both the mounting challenges and that climate activists face with their mental health and the barriers to accessing effective and resonate clinical care.
He weaves together his experience providing climate-aware mental healthcare with his background as a social worker, organizer and developer and facilitator of mindfulness, engaged spirituality and ecology programs.
You can read more about his credentials, approaches to therapy and facilitated offerings here.
Interested in offering clinical or non-clinical support to climate activists?
Frontline Resilience is currently establishing a roster of climate-aware psychotherapists, coaches, counselors and facilitators who are interested in contracting with us to offer services to climate activists across the world. Once we have established stable funding and identified the concrete needs of activists, we will reach out to discuss the possibility of partnering with us as paid contractors. We particularly encourage trained psychotherapists, psychologists and counselors who identify as BIPOC, are living in the Global South and/or New York or California to apply.
If you’re interested in being part of our team, please fill out the contact form here to express your interest, request more information and be notified when opportunities become available.
