Description

Workplace safety is more than just physically ensuring the well-being of your staff. A psychologically safe leader looks to “prevent psychological harm, promote psychological health of workers, and address problems related to psychological health and safety.” Bringing this process to Maryland Libraries is not easy. By defining a psychologically safe leader and identifying the harmful myths preventing psychological safety, all library leaders can learn to build a healthier workplace. This will put us in a safer position to better promote mental health within our library community. 

All levels of library leadership can benefit from developing this competency and contributing to a future of psychologically safe workplaces.
