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 that climate activists face with their mental health and the barriers to accessing effective and resonant 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, populous US states and/or speak multiple languages to reach out.

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.

We take your privacy & security seriously

Aware of the increasingly precarious political and legal situation activists across the world are facing, Frontline Resilience is committed to providing discreet support and services. Here’s what we’re doing:

  • All Frontline Resilience (FR) forms, messages/calls and emails are encrypted using Jotform, Signal and Proton Mail, respectively. Administrative staff are required to utilize Proton VPN on all devices that are used for FR activities. We strongly encourage but cannot guarantee that providers also utilize encrypted email and secure VPNs - please ask your specific provider about this.

  • FR operates on a decentralized model - this means that your inquiry and application for services are completed by FR but once you are connected to a provider or facilitator, they are responsible for storing any clinical information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. FR does not store any clinical information beyond your contact info and the number of services you are eligible to receive.

  • Individual providers are required to complete a cybersecurity and privacy training with FR staff to ensure they are aware of all risks and best practices. Providers are required to use HIPAA (or country-specific) compliant record storage and video calling. They must be willing to provide an encrypted option for communication and services, such as Signal.

  • Individual providers are required to provide a disclosure of their limits of confidentiality to all clients depending on their location and applicable laws. This includes what information they are required to provide to authorities and under what circumstances. Providers must be willing to answer any questions or concerns you might have about their privacy and security practices.
