Every agency eventually has to post something people won't want to hear – a rate increase, a road closure, a major arrest, a service disruption or another high-profile issue. These high-emotion moments may generate strong reactions from the public, and require thoughtful communication.

On August 27, our social media manager, Ariana Donley, will lead a 90-minute virtual workshop where you'll learn:

- How to recognize high-emotion topics before they catch you off guard
- Repeatable frameworks such as P.A.C.E. for communicating tough topics
- Ways to craft content that reduces confusion and speculation
- How to manage public response after you hit publish
- Real examples of how agencies have successfully managed these moments
