Audio File-A Christian Perspective on Self Care for the Social Worker
This podcast speaks to the social worker's potential for developing secondary trauma (compassion fatigue) when working with hurting and traumatized people. When left unaddressed, secondary trauma can contribute to professional impairment and burnout. Participants will be provided information on secondary trauma and burnout, self-assessment tools, and a variety of self-care strategies informed by a Christian perspective.
