Some patterns are emerging as we've moved into the deep grind of being eight months into the pandemic, with no clear end in sight.
Most staff /leaders haven't seen each other since March, and the demands of parenting, caring for parents or other beloveds in our communities, dealing with social isolation, weathering sickness and its aftermath, dealing with ongoing and intense racism and white supremacy, and the stress and anxiety around the elections is, well, A LOT, especially when also trying to keep up with work.
I’m offering a space where leaders from different organizations can come together to talk about how these issues are affecting staff morale and workflow and how we can realistically plan for these conditions to likely continue well into 2021. I hope that in these sessions we can spark some good brainstorming, crowdsource some tips for what's working well, and help folks feel less alone in trying to get through this period with our people, our organizations, and our sanity intact.
