  • CBW: How to get Professional Development Support

    Takeaways:

    This presentation had so many valuable nuggets of information! It was awesome!

    Great resource I understand how to use language that clearly state the ask and why.. Making it a win- win benefit for me and organization

    The CASE framework was super helpful and also is helping me feel a little less intimidated about asking for PD support.

  • CBW: Own Your Stress

    Stress impacts everyone. Black women especially experience higher levels of workplace stress compared to other demographics. The impacts of this stress include burnout, maternal health challenges, and heart disease.

    But we are not without options.

    As part of our series of Connecting Black Women special events, Own Your Stress is a 90 minute deep-dive into the impact of stress on Black women's bodies, and strategy session for taking back control.

    Takeaways

    Reducing stress for Black women requires both individuals, generations, and whole communities to be involved.

    We need more spaces for Black women to talk openly and honestly about their stress.

    Admitting you are stressed is hard, even for doctors.

    Self care requires making commitments you can manage.
