Self-Care
With hectic schedules, heavy caseloads, and difficult client problems to resolve, it is understandable for social workers to feel overwhelmed and emotionally drained
by social work. Social workers with burnout and compassion fatigue are less likely to be effective in their role. Therefore, it is important that social workers
develop self-care strategies to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Doing so helps social workers maintain their ability to provide quality services to those who
are in need.
For this assignment, view the media piece and select a self-care strategy the social worker used to address burnout and compassion fatigue.
Give a description of one self-care strategy the social worker in the media piece used to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Then, describe another self-care
strategy you might use to address burnout and compassion fatigue. Finally, explain which self-care strategy might be more effective to address burnout and compassion
fatigue in social workers.
