Green protesters are being offered therapy for ­“climate change stress”.
Extinction Rebellion, or XR, said the free one-to-one sessions were available to its “rebels” whose tactics in protests across the UK have previously caused enormous disruption.
Nine members were recently cleared of causing criminal damage worth £500,000 to HSBC’s headquarters in Canary Wharf, East London, in 2021.
Prosecutors had claimed the group were not entitled to ­vandalise property that did not belong to them but they claimed the were lawfully justified in their actions
In a message to members, XR said climate change and taking part in protests could “lead to some of us needing help”.
Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo says the best way to get over the stress of protesting is “not to jump out in front of cars, don’t glue your hands to the road.”
