Staying Grounded: Managing Stress and Sustaining Well-Being in Today’s Public Health Climate

Today’s public health workforce is navigating intense pressure—from chronic underfunding and political polarization to workforce shortages and the emotional toll of responding to overlapping crises. In this environment, stress isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a structural one. This session creates space for public health professionals to acknowledge these realities while building practical, evidence-based strategies to manage stress, foster resilience, and protect their well-being. Through guided exercises, peer connection, and expert insights, participants will explore tools rooted in positive psychology, mindfulness, and dimensions of wellbeing. You'll leave with a personalized stress management plan and resources you can apply immediately—because sustaining your own well-being is foundational to sustaining the mission of public health.
