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 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. Participants will critically identify and examine systemic and institutional policies and practices that perpetuate burnout. Participants will engage in discussion to collaboratively to brainstorm new strategies to combat burnout as a collective. 1 Continuing education hour REGISTER COST Members - $25 Student/Retired Members - $20 Non-Members - $35 Previous Article E & B WEBINAR: Emerging Ethical Issues in Rural Social Work Practice Next Article WEBINAR: Got Millennials?
