Mental Health Support for DEI Professionals

Facilitated by: Dr. Jacqueline Benson - Recent political shifts have placed unprecedented pressure on businesses and public institutions to divest from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts—leaving many DEI professionals feeling disoriented, disillusioned, and uncertain about their future. This support group provides a safe, affirming space to process job-related transitions, grief, burnout, and identity shifts—all within a community that understands. Together, we will share, reflect, and build resilience in the face of systemic challenges.
