A reminder about an upcoming webinar shared from the Smithsonian Institution for your awareness:
 
June 24 - 2:00pm-3:00pm - Managing Mental Health in Cultural Heritage Emergency Response Webinar - Before 6/23 - ARCS members $25, Non-member $50 
 
Description:
Mental health plays a critical role in how museum and cultural heritage professionals function at work, make decisions, and care for collections.  In unstable and challenging times, as well as in normal operations,  mental health care is recognized as a core component of a holistic approach to museum operations and stewardship. Looking at resources and honest case studies, this talk will address how mental health of individuals compromises group dynamics and response efforts in emergency situations. 
 
The participants will learn how acknowledging, recognizing and sharing information about stress and signs of mental health challenges and inclusion of safe practices among museum staff, are tools for recovery. Proactive attention to mental well-being not only benefits individual employees but also strengthens institutional resilience, helping museums respond more effectively to stress, crisis, and long-term professional demands.
 
Speakers - Nora Lockshin (SLA) and Becca Kennedy
