Education | Hand Made Dreams

As the museum field continues to prioritize well being as a fundamental value, how can we continue developing thriving museums that contribute to the creation of healthy, vibrant communities? This is the AAM2024 theme this year, with session tracks organized around Personal, Organizational, Community, and Society. I hope you’ll join me at AAM2024 to catch my session on Finding Your Spark: Renewing Your Professional Wellness Journey.

Optimizing mental wellness strategies to build resilience can limit emotional fatigue and the unintended consequences that follow. This session explored healthy strategies that can be utilized to balance professional and personal commitments.

Thank you IFMA for the invitation to discuss all things wellness!

We are excited to host a special Circle of Hope, in collaboration with E.P.I.C. (Empowered Parents in Community) located in Durham, NC. We look forward to pouring into our parents, as they give so much of themselves to their children. Thank you to our Education Coordinator, Dr. Regina Gavin Williams, for facilitating this wonderful 6-week experience!

Fresh Perspective Course

NASW NC Approved for 1.5 CE

We are moving through historic times as our families and communities seek to find balance. In order to ensure the safety of our children, youth service professionals working with families must be in the forefront of supporting families and guardians by helping them maintain their physical and emotional well-being. Thus a model of wellness that specifically speaks to the well-being of parents and guardians, while also serving as a source of support for their children is essential. Utilizing a model of wellness is particularly important during times of crisis and uncertainty.

"Both presenters were very knowledgeable about the topic and organized the presentation very well."

"There were many strategies suggested to help me avoid experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue."
