Good morning all from Grand Canyon National Park

We discussed emotional support - and understanding/recognizing that staff have experienced trauma in various forms - and how to provide healing spaces

Wondering if any institutions have changed their paid sick leave policy - to accommodate for COVID or emotional/mental health re racism

Part of my role at my museum is to provide monthly professional development workshop. Zoom has many challenges but it has been nice in terms of providing more flexibility of time so that more people can participate, and I've seen a lot more participation now than before the pandemic started. I think folks crave that opportunity to talk and connect (even if it's over a computer). So it's been a lot of work on my end but I'm trying to continue to provide that.

I have to leave early to enter my virtual therapy session. The agency I work for provides 5 free sessions. More than half our front line staff are taking advantage of this benefit.

Excellent Paul!

I have found and seen several institution, particularly those dealing with slavery, use a log of incidents. Provide an opportunity for staff to document their experiences. What is happening? Who is saying what? Its critical documentation. Having flexible leave policy. And free therapy. Access to mentorship. The creation of affinity groups.

I think front line interpreters of color have several techniques to responding and have specialized expertise. I think taking seriously the concerns around safety. What are the emergency policies? Not only around microagressions or verbal assaults, but has there been an active shooter training? A de-escalation training?
