Wellbeing is much more than just “self-care” and drinking enough water. Library workers expend their energy supporting the wellbeing of their community, colleagues, and loved ones.
What can library workers do to support their own wellbeing? Research shows that wellbeing is a key factor in not only feeling good and thriving as individuals, but also in workplace performance and in bringing about positive change.
During this session, participants will understand how to build upon their individual character strengths to boost their personal wellbeing. Attendees will learn about two evidence-based frameworks, the VIA (Values in Action) Character Strengths and the PERMAH framework for wellbeing. Inventories will be taken to help attendees to identify their top character strengths and PERMAH factors requiring attention.
Attendees will create tiny habits to support a tailored action plan to improve their resilience, adaptability, and wellbeing. After this session, attendees will be able to apply the knowledge gained to both their workplace and personal relationships.
