Mental Traps: Navigating Political Minefields

Join the CWG for its next Learn and Lead program for a networking brunch and a discussion of mental health in public service careers. Political leadership comes with pressures that can challenge even the most committed public servant. In Mental Traps: Navigating Political Minefields, Dr. Jada Jackson Hill explores the psychological toll of public scrutiny, high expectations, competing demands, and an uncertain political future. This engaging presentation helps participants recognize their stress responses, understand how political pressures affect their well-being and relationships, and build a practical Mental Wellness Toolbox. Participants will gain strategies to manage stress, strengthen resilience, and lead with greater clarity while protecting their mental health.
