In light of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on health, well-being, and social justice, the role of the museum educator is ever changing in terms of community engagement and support, educational content, and material resources. Recognizing there is a unique opportunity to contribute to improved mental health and well-being of diverse communities through object-based experiences, the book outlines how a museum educator can lead, develop, broadly deliver, and assess wellness programs for museums of all disciplines.
