Centering Professional Wellness Workshop
Friday, February 23, 2024, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Category: Workshops
We are all there. We're burnt out and in chronic survival mode. If you're in the archives field then chances are that you (at one point) had a deep passion for the field. But a lot has changed in just the last decade and it's taken a toll on our wellbeing. On top of global crises we're also in a severely underpaid field that is under the toxic illusion that we won't leave because we "love our jobs". In this workshop we're going to get real with the challenges we're facing in our field, including: unethically low salaries and precarious employment, the culture of perpetual "sacrifice", trauma in the workplace, and structurally imposed imposter syndrome. We're going to review the markers of each and discuss realistic strategies for how to set boundaries, fortify ourselves, and advocate for both our wellness and our value. For more information and registration, visit https://www.marac.info/workshops
