Burnout, Vicarious Trauma and Proactive Self Care for Helping Professionals
The profession of social work is inarguably rife with significant challenges, including burnout and vicarious trauma.
Burnout is often perpetuated by delegitimizing, abusive institutions and systems, with myriad negative consequences for practitioners and the profession in general. In this workshop, participants will deepen their understanding of what burnout and vicarious trauma are (and how they differ) and the effects/implications of unaddressed burnout for mental and physical health, well-being, professional longevity, and student outcomes. Data presented will be tailored to the specifics of the helping profession, particularly the continual use of empathy and exposure to trauma disclosures from students. Participants will have time to reflect on the efficacy of their current self-care practices and collaboratively identify opportunities for proactive self-care. This workshop is tailored to the lived experiences of helping professionals, including demands and expectations placed on them by their specific roles.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe the concepts of burnout, vicarious trauma, and proactive self-care and how these concepts impact social worker well-being;
- Participants will deepen their understanding of the systemic drivers of burnout and identify strategies to address these systemic issues;
- Participants will add new tools and skills to mitigate burnout to their self-care “toolboxes.”
