Event date: 2/22/2023 Export event Mark Wills / Tuesday, December 6, 2022 / Categories: Uncategorized Burnout and Self-Care in Social Work NASW Wisconsin Noon-1:30 p.m. CT This webinar is based on findings in SaraKay Smullens’s fourth book, Burnout and Self-Care in Social Work: A Guidebook for Students and Those in Mental Health and Related Professions, 2nd edition, (NASW Press, 2021), where 5 burnout arenas, 4 underlying psycho-social causes (attendant syndromes), and care strategies (both self and societal) to address and alleviate burnout are highlighted. Smullens explains: “Like life itself, there is nothing neat about my evidence-based categorizations. They hold a great deal of overlap and are offered for understanding, prevention, and discussion.” This edition also notes both differences and similarities between burnout and depression from a social work perspective. Deeply concerned about what she calls “pathologized human reactions,” Smullens emphasizes that in both burnout and depression reactions are usually understandable and appropriate reactions to life events. (She does discuss, however, when depressive reactions are psychiatric illnesses, requiring more than “the talking cure.”) 1.5 CEUs available Register for Burnout and Self-Care in Social Work: A Guidebook in Mental Health and Related Professions Previous Article Current Changes and Challenges with Advance Directives, Guardianship and Abuse across the Nation Next Article Introduction to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dissociation Identity Disorder Print 1314 Tags: virtual continuing education webinar chapter Wisconsin Related articles DisAbilities Council: Introduction to TEAM-CBT Therapy HOPP: Legal Aspects of Artificial Intelligence and Privacy Concerns in Private Practice Creating Freedom and Flexibility as a Social Worker Social Impact Horizon: Navigating Grand Challenges in Social Work Congressional Briefing on HR 3073
