This session examines the personal and professional grief social workers carry through ongoing exposure to trauma, system barriers, and human suffering. It explores how vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and burnout shape identity, purpose, and long-term sustainability. Participants will reflect on self-talk, boundaries, and realistic everyday self-care before creating an individualized sustainability statement to support grounded, resilient, and identity-aligned practice.
