Taking care of yourself is crucial in a field like government social media. But, where do you even start?

Meet with social self-care advocate and social media specialist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Jessie Brown to talk about creating resilience, advocating for your wellbeing and much more. We’ll get together live in, “Taking Care of YOU: SocialGov Wellbeing on Mental Health Day and Every Day” happening Tuesday, September 27, 2022 in the GSM professional association. Here’s what you’ll take away:

Managing social media isn't all cat memes and rainbows, and nobody knows that better than government social media professionals. We'll talk about building resiliency to manage our unique but everyday stresses and how to recognize when everyday stresses are escalating to something more difficult. We'll wrap up by focusing on finding and embracing opportunities for growth and advocating for your wellbeing. Plus, Jessie will take any questions you have on socialgov wellbeing at the end of the live webinar.
