1 Recognize your strengths

One way to celebrate achievements in social work is to recognize your strengths and skills that you have developed or enhanced through your practice. You can do this by reflecting on your accomplishments, feedback, and learning outcomes, and identifying the areas where you have excelled or improved. You can also use tools such as the StrengthsFinder or the SWOT analysis to assess your strengths and opportunities. Recognizing your strengths can help you build your self-esteem, leverage your potential, and set new goals for yourself.

Self-reflection comes naturally to many social workers but is often through a critical lens - mindfully looking back at things you've done well is as important as looking for things you can still improve.

2 Share your stories

Another way to celebrate achievements in social work is to share your stories and experiences with others who can appreciate and support you. You can do this by joining a peer group, a mentoring program, or a professional network, where you can exchange insights, challenges, and successes with fellow social workers. You can also share your stories with your clients, colleagues, supervisors, or family and friends, who can offer you feedback, recognition, or encouragement. Sharing your stories can help you create meaningful connections, learn from others, and inspire others.

Hopefully this goes without saying but confidentiality is of utmost importance! I find colleagues or fellow social workers to be the most understanding and supportive of the "small wins." Social work success doesn't always look flashy, particularly from a harm-reduction lens; but it's the small wins that add up to long-term, sustainable success.

When one social worker wins, we all win! Allow others to participate in celebrating your victories. But in telling your story, consider also sharing the tough or “undesired” parts. Let me explain why. When one social worker experiences challenge or struggle as it relates to our occupation, sharing the experience allows us as a profession to take action for better. This truth also allows us as social workers to sit in our humanity and consider the gaps in our service. Oftentimes we’re painted as miracle workers or superheroes- we’re not. We also experience difficulty as individuals and a collective. Raised awareness creates allies for change or increase advocacy efforts like lobbying, policy change, feedback or encouragement.

3 Reward yourself

A third way to celebrate achievements in social work is to reward yourself for your hard work and dedication. You can do this by treating yourself to something that makes you happy, such as a hobby, a book, a movie, or a meal. You can also reward yourself by taking some time off, relaxing, or engaging in self-care activities, such as meditation, yoga, or massage. Rewarding yourself can help you recharge your energy, reduce your stress, and enjoy your life.

Over the years, my view on self-care has changed. Self-care has to be more than a short-term massage or outing. Managing my executive functioning to create a clean, organized living space where I can de-stress and truly enjoy and focus on doing the things I love is all part of self-care.

4 Express gratitude

A fourth way to celebrate achievements in social work is to express gratitude for the opportunities, resources, and people that have helped you along the way. You can do this by writing a thank-you note, sending a gift, or making a phone call to someone who has supported, guided, or influenced you in your social work journey. You can also express gratitude by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a cause that you care about. Expressing gratitude can help you cultivate a positive attitude, appreciate what you have, and give back to others.

Empathic understanding of what clients are going through often comes with natural gratitude for your own fortunes but practicing mindfulness in identifying and recognizing people or things you are grateful for is equally as important.

5 Align with your values

A fifth way to celebrate achievements in social work is to align your actions and decisions with your values and principles as a social worker. You can do this by reviewing the code of ethics, the standards of practice, and the core competencies of the profession, and evaluating how well you have adhered to them in your practice. You can also align with your values by pursuing professional development, seeking supervision, or joining a community of practice that can help you enhance your knowledge, skills, and ethics. Aligning with your values can help you maintain your integrity, credibility, and quality of service.

In my experience, a lot of job dissatisfaction in social work occurs with value dilemmas between ethical standards and workplace culture. Finding the right environment or effecting change to create the right environment can lead to greater ability to celebrate achievements.

6 Celebrate with others

A sixth way to celebrate achievements in social work is to celebrate with others who share your passion and vision for social work. You can do this by organizing or attending a social event, a workshop, a conference, or an award ceremony that honors the achievements of social workers. You can also celebrate with others by collaborating, partnering, or networking with other organizations, agencies, or groups that work towards similar goals or causes. Celebrating with others can help you foster a sense of belonging, solidarity, and advocacy in the social work field.
