#OMAConf2020 recordings available
As 2020 comes to a close, take a moment to reflect on all that we've learned this year by revisiting the engaging presentations and important discussions held at #OMAConf2020. OMA members can watch recordings of all the conference sessions on our website.
This holiday season, the following recording may be of interest:Cultivating Resilience and Well-being in Turbulent Times
During a time of turbulence and stress, how can we stay emotionally healthy and connected to ourselves and those around us? What kinds of coping are normal and helpful? How might we develop strategies to ensure that we don’t slide into trauma or deep distress? In the museum context, how can we promote wellness and resilience within our ourselves, with our colleagues, and for our communities? In this session, Dr. Ross Laird explores these themes and examines strategies for cultivating mental health and wellness, building capacity within our organizations and teams, and directing the stress of the moment toward healthy outcomes for everyone.
