Tis a truism that social workers’ personal narratives will be triggered when doing their work. Stories evoke stories. In this session, the focus will build on consciousness that one’s “stuff” will routinely be triggered, to less-common times when an immediate loss causes questions about working or not working. Drawing on personal experiences of a grandson’s death after a drug overdose to his wife’s sudden and unexpected death, the presenter will use his recovering processes and those found in common social work literature to promote guidelines for individual choices for working or not working after an eventful personal loss. Aspects of self-care, consultation, and professional ethics will be included.
