Mental Health & Wellness 2025 Panel Series

We are excited to invite all library employees to participate in our upcoming Mental Health and Wellness Panel Series this spring! Each session will explore critical topics related to well-being in the workplace, providing insights, strategies, and a space for open conversation.

Why This Series Matters:
Library professionals often navigate unique challenges—from emotional labor to burnout and balancing the demands of service. This series provides a platform for honest conversations about these realities and offers tools for building healthier work environments. Together, we can break down stigmas, share practical strategies, and spark meaningful change within our field.
