1 Identify your stressors

The first step to managing your stress is to identify what triggers it. Stressors can be external, such as deadlines, workload, clients, colleagues, or supervisors, or internal, such as your thoughts, feelings, expectations, or beliefs. By being aware of your stressors, you can anticipate them and plan how to deal with them. You can also prioritize your tasks, set boundaries, and delegate or ask for help when needed.

Developing resilience in the face of a high-stress case involves fostering a strong foundation of self-care, seeking support from supervisors and peers for guidance and reassurance, and embracing a mindset that views challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Practicing mindfulness and setting aside time for activities that rejuvenate your spirit can help maintain your emotional and physical well-being.

2 Practice self-care

Self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity for social workers. It means taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Some examples of self-care activities are getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, meditating, relaxing, pursuing hobbies, and connecting with friends and family. Self-care can help you reduce stress, prevent burnout, and enhance your well-being.

Self care first and foremost is making sure you have boundaries within your role and ensuring you communicate this effectively. Outside of your role, activities or things you enjoy should be a priority. Keep the laptop and work phone off unless absolutely necessary. For me they get put away in a cupboard, out of sight out of mind.

3 Seek support

You don't have to cope with stress alone. You can seek support from various sources, such as your colleagues, supervisors, mentors, peers, or professional associations. You can also access counseling, coaching, or supervision services if you need more guidance or feedback. Support can help you share your experiences, learn from others, vent your emotions, and find solutions.

Speak to your colleagues, they understand more than most. If you are struggling you should make your manager aware so they can offer support.

Challenges are inevitable in social work, but they can also be opportunities for learning and growth. You can learn from challenges by adopting a growth mindset, which means believing that you can improve your abilities and overcome obstacles with effort and feedback.

6 Cultivate gratitude

Gratitude is the appreciation of what you have and what you experience. It can help you cope with stress by shifting your perspective from what is lacking to what is abundant. You can cultivate gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal, expressing gratitude to others, or finding something positive in every situation. Gratitude can help you reduce negative emotions, increase happiness, and improve your resilience.
