APPI Virtual Workshop - A Collective Hug

Date:
January 22, 2026

Location:

Time:
12:00 PM

Description:

Have you experienced harassment from the public while doing your job? Are you feeling burnt out as a planner? Looking for a chance to share your experiences, feel supported from your fellow planners, and take away some self-care tips?

Join this interactive virtual session to connect with peers to share your worst (or best) planning stories, and hear from experienced planners on tools and approaches for managing your mental health as a practicing planner. Facilitated by experienced planners Jonathan Schmidt, Kate Van Fraassen and inspirational speaker Chris Fields this session will have all the “feels” in its pursuit of the uplifting. After positive feedback on the in-person session during the 2025 APPI Conference, this session has been adapted as a webinar. Building from questions around professional resources focused on supporting planners specifically, we are thrilled to be joined by Kristy Kilbourne, from Your Planning Career to share her observations and resources from working with planners across Canada.

Join us for a webinar that’s sure to feel like a collective hug from your fellow planners.
