On May 7, 2024, the Chicago Collections Consortium and Chicago Area Archivists co-sponsored a virtual presentation by Kaetrena Davis Kendrick on links between low-morale and burnout in library and archives workplaces.  Over forty attendees learned about self-care strategies, as well as ways to support their professional colleagues and communities. 

Attendees said that in addition to learning new strategies, they also had their feelings of stress and burnout validated.  You can learn more about Kaetrena and her work on her website, https://renewalslis.com/.

Thank you to everyone who attended the virtual event and showed great interest in the talk with their comments and questions. A special thanks to Kaetrena for taking the time to speak to CCC/CAA members!
