Survival Skills for Social Workers

The British Association of Social Workers
A rare chance to examine our vulnerabilities as Social Workers in an increasingly stressful workplace, run by The British Association of Social Workers (BASW).

Areas covered include:

  • Cause and effects of stress
  • Stress v. Burnout
  • Work Life Balance
  • Developing a Survival Kit

Social Work is a challenging and often stressful profession where workers can be vulnerable in a number of different areas. The aim of this session is to offer an opportunity for workers to discuss issues of concern and to share their experiences with others.

Trainers, Julie Adams and Angie Sheard, will use individual, small and large group discussion and debate, together with taught input to meet these objectives and also seek to address participants own needs throughout the session.

Cost £30 BASW members and £40 non BASW members
Location: BASW HQ, Kent Street, Birmingham, B5 6RD

To book a place, visit the BASW website.
