Self Care, Self Defense & De-escalation: REady Steady In the Library: taking Initiative before an Emergency, Natural disaster, or Trauma
About the presentation:
Front-line library staff encounter a range of attitudes and behaviors from patrons, mostly good, but sometimes – not. Emergencies (from the personal to the pandemic) add even more stress to daily interactions. This webinar will cover ways that library staff can take care of their mental and emotional health and will offer practical strategies for staying safe while diffusing antagonistic or threatening behavior in the library.
