In a digital ecosystem of 24/7 communication we are fielding alerts, following relevant news, and responding to never-ending social media comments, messages, requests and more. But with the ever-growing list of responsibilities and expectations for digital communication professionals, how can we keep our mental health priority #1? Social media managers have unique challenges when it comes to mental health: it's not easy to just "unplug" for self-care. In this session, we will discuss how social media can affect your mental health, how to identify burnout and explore strategies to handle and recover from it.
