In this episode, I delve into a deeply personal topic - burnout, a reality familiar to many in our field. We host the inspirational Jelan Agnew, a veteran social worker and advocate for mindful work-life balance, who candidly shares her harrowing experience of ICU admission due to burnout. Through her reflections, we underscore the urgency of prioritizing mental health and self-care, often overlooked aspects in our profession.
Topics we touch on include:
- The profound impact of burnout on our health and why it shouldn't be the norm for social workers.
- The importance of detaching our worth from productivity and employer valuations.
- Mindfulness techniques and lifestyle changes can prevent burnout and foster personal well-being.
