Social service professionals face heightened risks to their mental well-being due to the demanding nature of their roles and the complex challenges encountered by those they support. Their work often involves engaging with individuals in crisis, experiencing mental health struggles, or dealing with substance use issues. In some cases, clients may have a history of violence or harassment.
While helping people dealing with challenges, social service professionals are more likely to face vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. These external pressures, combined with internal organizational challenges such as heavy caseloads and staffing shortages, contribute to burnout, job dissatisfaction, and elevated turnover rates across the sector.
This session will explore the growing concerns surrounding workplace mental health and the impact on those working in social services.
