Course Description: Boundaries Without Burnout: Emotional Survival Skills for Social Workers is an interactive training designed to help practitioners recognize the early signs of burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional overload. Participants will learn practical boundary-setting techniques, in-the-moment regulation strategies, and sustainable wellness practices that support resilience while maintaining high-quality care. This session grounds self-preservation in ethical practice, professional responsibility, and long-term career well-being.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify at least three early indicators of burnout and compassion fatigue that impact social work practice.
  2. Apply practical, action-oriented boundary-setting techniques to reduce emotional overload and protect professional well-being.
  3. Demonstrate at least two resilience or regulation strategies that can be used during high-stress interactions or challenging workdays.
