WEBINAR - “Overworked and Stretched Thin”: Burnout and Systemic Failure in Social Work

January 13, 2025 - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

Presented by Dr.Stephanie L Carnes, Ph.D, LCSW, LL.M

Stephanie Carnes

Social work is inarguably rife with significant challenges, including burnout and vicarious trauma. Burnout is often perpetuated by delegitimizing, abusive institutions and systems, with myriad negative consequences for practitioners and the profession in general. While individual self-care practices are an essential component of practitioners’ longevity toolkits, this session will explore the concept of radical self-care, or the reprioritizing of personal well-being and the disruption of delegitimizing, draining systemic and institutional contexts. Specifically, this workshop will offer a critical appraisal of the policies and practices that imperil social worker well-being across practice settings. Additionally, this session will embolden participants to engage in radical and collective forms of self-care, with a keen eye toward challenging the systemic and institutional perpetuators of burnout.

Learning objectives

  1. Participants will develop an understanding of the concepts of radical and collective self-care, how such approaches differ from more traditional conceptualizations of individually-focused self-care.
  2. Participants will critically identify and examine systemic and institutional policies and practices that perpetuate burnout.
  3. Participants will engage in discussion to collaboratively to brainstorm new strategies to combat burnout as a collective.
