Join us for an empowering session designed for social workers at all levels, where we’ll explore how to overcome personal and professional challenges, rediscover joy in your practice, and cultivate long-term resilience. This training will draw on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), while focusing on key concepts like learned helplessness, intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, and the power of shifting from reactive to proactive behavior. Participants will examine the distinction between toxic positivity and genuine optimism, and how these perspectives impact our work and well-being. With an emphasis on influence versus control, this session will provide strategies to empower yourself and your clients, moving from a mindset of helplessness to one of growth and possibility.                                 

This training will explore practical, everyday self-care strategies and ways to integrate them into your routine to protect your energy and sustain your passion for the work. Whether you’re a student, pre-licensed, or seasoned practitioner, this session will equip you with concrete tools to enhance your emotional resilience, reignite your sense of purpose, and continue making a meaningful impact in the lives of those you serve. You’ll leave with actionable insights to move from burnout to empowerment, ensuring you remain engaged, fulfilled, and effective in your practice.
