Session Abstract
We are all there. We're burnt out and in chronic survival mode. If you're in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) field then chances are you (at one point) had a deep passion for your career. But a lot has changed in just the last decade and it's taken a toll on our wellbeing. On top of local and global crises we're in a chronically ill field and in roles that are severely underpaid. In this webinar we're going to get real with the challenges we're facing in our field, including: current events, a culture of perpetual "sacrifice", and trauma in the workplace. We'll review the markers of each and discuss realistic strategies for how to set boundaries and cultivate resilience while in crisis.
