Course DETAILS
Planning can be tough! I'm not sure any of us realized we would be facing so many emotionally intense situations. Join fellow planners as we laugh and cry while learning how to manage and recover from those moments.
Planners are often required to handle highly emotional situations and face public criticism, which can cause a great deal of stress and lead to burnout. Self-care is therefore vital to a successful and fulfilling career in planning, yet it is typically not part of our professional education and training. This course explores the need to make self-care a core competency in the planning profession and how we can get started.
