Conversation Cafe - Breaking out of Burnout
Redwood City Public Library, 1044 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA, USConversation Cafe - Breaking out of Burnout
Wed, 5/20 from 10am-12pm at the Redwood City Public Library Community Room (1044 Middlefield Rd, 94063)This event will provide a space for attendees to have honest, solutions-seeking, and resource focused conversations about how burnout impacts those of us who serve the LGBTQ+ community, are a part of it, or both. Additionally, attendees will be given the opportunity to intentionally network and connect further, with the purpose of sharing resources and support beyond just time spent in conversation.
Burnout is an issue faced by many but is felt profoundly by the LGBTQ+ community and their supporters through ever increasing political and cultural hostility, and constantly changing rules and narratives, all designed to demoralize us. During this community event participants will be given time with small groups in similar fields and roles to discuss ever important topics. Participants will have focused and in-depth conversations about what is causing burnout, what might be working or failing to address it, and how to build stronger networks and relationships amongst ourselves and our organizations to support each other in our ongoing work. With time to dive deep with different small groups throughout the event, we will provide a forum to explore opportunities for collaborative solution building, strategizing, and networking, in the goal of better supporting ourselves and the LGBTQ+ community.
