Abstract
Mindfulness & Mental Health Improvement Practices for An Effective Work-Life Balance (WLB) in Librarianship
Various approaches that university libraries globally use to inspire library staff and students to enhance their well-being, intellectual wellness and manage stress in the process.

Join this session for a discussion of techniques you can use to reduce your stress and increase resiliency in the workplace, and help generate ideas for implementing stimulating programs to inspire library users.

Jay will share the in-person and virtual programs created at Drexel University Libraries to promote intellectual wellness and reduce stress for staff and students.
