Mindfulness for Social Workers


Registration begins at 8:30 AM


The demands placed on social workers in helping clients through challenging life situations can contribute to high stress and burnout or compassion fatigue. Mindfulness practices are increasingly being used to enhance effective and supportive relationships.


Learning Objectives

  • Being present to suffering: social workers often work where there is the most suffering: poverty, crises, traumatic losses. Understanding how mindfulness skills are a valuable resource supporting a stable presence in the midst of chaos. 
  • Generating compassion: understanding the difference of an empathic response, which can be a cause of burnout, and compassion, which is replenished mental strength. Learning practices for strengthening mental qualities such as compassion, loving kindness, ease, and joy.            
  • Developing a plan: practical strategies for implementing and maintaining a regular mindfulness practice to enrich our lives and the clients we serve.
