About Sarah Newman

I started the Climate Mental Health Network in Spring 2021 after my own struggles with climate emotions. The organization works across in the United States across a range of sectors, focused on engaging children/youth, parents/caregivers and educators. As a collaborative leader, I thrive at building effective campaigns informed by research, data and science to create initiatives, communications plans, content and events that inspire and move stakeholders to protect the health of people and the planet.My expertise spans community, political, film, tech and faith-based campaigns. I am a leader and strategist with experience creating and implementing strategic campaigns using partnerships, storytelling, and media to advance social change. I thrive in innovative, start-up environments and my versatile background across different sectors brings a creative, unique perspective.
