Barriers to Self-Care for Social Workers: Threading the Needle Between Burnout and Professional Violations
The presentation explores the barriers of self-care for social workers while threading the needle between burnouts and professional violations. The Powerpoint visual will discuss a systematic review on the background of self-care for social workers to help identify some barriers. Key points about barriers to self-care such as lack of resources, negative personal beliefs and time constraints will be identified. The presentation will also address systems theory and burnout theory as it relates to self-care for social workers. Burnout amongst social workers will be summarized and its correlation to professional violations. The powerpoint presentation will continue to address solutions to barriers to self-care to help decrease job turnover rates and burnouts. Furthermore, this presentation will also focus on exploring an innovative idea that could help increase self-care for social workers. Finally a dearth in research on the barriers to self-care will be explored to help consider the gaps in literature.
