It’s All About Us!

FRIDAY, May 10, 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CST (12PM EST, 9AM PST)

Wellness Session:

Our May Session is all about you because YOU MATTER! Here’s the thing – if you look up “grant professional burn out” you find a lot of discussion about the challenges of never-ending deadlines, overwhelming workloads, and difficult work relationships, but there aren’t many people talking about the heaviness of our knowledge of and proximity to poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, environmental destruction, substance abuse, racism, inequality, mental health struggles, abuse, and so much more because we are serving the organizations battling all these issues. Grant work can take a toll, especially when you throw advocacy into the mix. If you have never stopped to think about what the stress of your work is doing to your body, this is just the conversation you need! We will have a licensed clinical social worker joining us to give us the tools we need to care of ourselves even when the work gets hard.
