Event Name:
Self Care Is Survival: Stress, Burnout, Work, & COVID-19 [Updated]

Competency:
Personal/Interpersonal

Description:
Sometimes self-care is about needing a nap. Sometimes it's about survival. Library work, in any role and any type of library, can take a heavy toll on people. Working right now, during a pandemic, gives a whole new definition to stress. This panel presentation will address best practices for self-care from three perspectives: what you can do for yourself, what you can do as a coworker for others, and what you (or others) can do in management roles. Hear from a variety of library staff in different roles and types of libraries. Participants will come away with practical tips and action items to implement right away to better take care of yourself, others, and to foster a physically and mentally healthy work environment.
