During the coronavirus pandemic, stress and anxiety have increased for many, as people have struggled to adjust to life during lockdown, remote working and fear of catching the virus. For social workers, these pressures have been particularly acute, whether that’s because of frustration at feeling able to support service users, or anxiety about not having the correct PPE.
Self care and an awareness of professional trauma and fatigue is essential as a response to distress, replenishing emotional resources and preventing exhaustion.
