A Christian Perspective on Self-Care for the Social Worker

Listen to this sample of Lanny Endicott talking about A Christian Perspective on Self-Care for the Social Worker originally recorded on 11/28/2011. Twenty minute audio samples of NACSW podcasts are available to anyone while the full length podcast is available only to members.

Podcast Summary: 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 with information on secondary trauma and burnout, self-assessment tools, and a variety of self-care strategies informed by a Christian perspective.

The full audio was originally published as the May 2013 Podcast of the Month. Join today to gain access to this and other great resources.
