Join the Education Committee for a relaxed, open‑dialogue session focused on mental well‑being in our professional lives. We’ll explore practical self‑care strategies, exchange valuable resources, and build a supportive community of archivists.

What to Expect:

Welcome & Warm‑up – Brief self‑care exercises and ice‑breaker questions to set a positive tone.
Open Discussion – Share your challenges, tools, and strategies; bring your own ideas and experiences to enrich the conversation and learn from the diverse perspectives of fellow SCA members.
Resource Exchange – Discover new apps, readings, and practices that can help maintain mental health on the job.

Why Attend?

This First Friday gathering offers a safe space to connect, learn, and recharge together—helping you thrive both personally and professionally.

Preparation Tips:

Choose a comfortable spot where you can move through the self‑care activities without interruption.
