QLD Gold Coast Practice Group 10 Sep 24

In this session, Martha will explore the often-overlooked challenges that social workers face as they serve as hope-holders and light-givers for their colleagues and clients. Recognising the emotional toll and potential for burnout and vicarious trauma inherent in this vital work, Martha will introduce a comprehensive bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach designed to build your 'inner PPE toolkit' for protected practice.

This approach emphasises the importance of holistic self-care, equipping social workers with practical strategies to maintain their emotional and psychological well-being. By developing this inner toolkit, participants will learn how to safeguard against burnout and vicarious trauma, ensuring they remain vitalized and effective in both their professional and personal lives. Martha's presentation will offer valuable insights into sustaining long-term resilience and thriving in a demanding work environment.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate these practices into their daily routines, ultimately enhancing their capacity to support others while maintaining their own health and well-being. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire essential tools and knowledge for fostering a sustainable and fulfilling career in social work.
