- Summary:
- In 'Self-Care and Organizational Practices for School Social Worker Resilience', Lou Paschall examines the unique characteristics of School Social Worker (SSW) practice that challenge the wellbeing of practitioners. Including stories from Paschall's decades of experience as a practicing SSW, the book discusses Social Work within the education system and identifies various occupational hazards - from burnout and compassion fatigue to secondary traumatic stress and vicarious traumatization. To address these occupational hazards, Paschall consults the guiding ethical documents of the profession to recommend practical strategies for individual self-care and professional self-advocacy, as well as organization-level strategies to promote SSW wellness.
