Healing Burnout: Incorporating Resilience to Refocus Stress and Workload Demands (Eastern Shore of MD Library Staff Only) Online
*Please note that session link emails will be sent directly through LibraryWorks, not from LibCal.*
Trending attitudes say a library should do everything, putting strain on the humans who run it. Libraries are the hearts of their communities, but sometimes we put ourselves at risk to keep those hearts pumping. Because of these expectations, library employees end up being glorified security guards, babysitters, social workers, and frontline staff. Burnout becomes inevitable if you don’t incorporate strategies to prevent stress from impossible demands. Learn about ways to avoid burnout and refocus your priorities on setting healthy boundaries and remembering the qualities that made you passionate about the profession.
From this webinar, you will learn:
* How to set healthy boundaries with library users and teammates
* How to identify and connect with administrators for support
* How to develop strategies in preventing and coping with stress
* How to shift your perspective to refocus on real priorities
This training is only available to staff on the Eastern Shore of MD. Please sign up with your work email address.
*All sessions will be recorded and sent to registered participants*
