ARE YOU…
...running through the motions every day, struggling just to keep on top of all the paperwork
and wondering what happened to your Dreams of making a difference in the world?
...juggling competing demands, too high case loads and overwhelmed by the expectations of the system,
but still believe you need to be there for your clients?
...exhausted, losing hope and lacking support
and wondering if it is all really worth it anymore?
I hear YOU and let me tell you this
you are not alone in this feeling
As professional Social Workers we are trained to care and use Empathy in our daily work with vulnerable individuals.
It is a necessary part of our role to be exposed to the trauma and suffering of others.
Our values and philosophy draw us to supporting and empowering those in need.
But we are the worst at looking after ourselves.
The system expects more than is possible, workloads are unrealistic and the support is simply not good enough across the sector. Everyday you are putting your health and emotional wellbeing at risk – and most of us don’t know how to prevent suffering long term negative impacts from the work we love.
There is only so much you can keep giving if you are not replenished in yourself.
Now is the time to get the support, develop and implement the protective strategies to enable you to thrive and continue being the Social Worker you truly want to be.
Burnout is not OK, not for me and especially not for YOU!
It is time to put yourself first for a while and reinvest in your wellbeing and professional future.

Hi, I’m Helen and ‘Because YOU Care’
is my offering…
As a mum of teenage twins, a wife to a very good man I have found my why again and reconnected with me.
But it wasn’t always like that…
Originally from the UK, I lived in Northern Ireland in my 20’s where I completed my professional Social Work studies and had my eyes opened to the world through grass root Community Relations work and front line Child Protection work, before I moved to Australia for my 30’s and beyond.
As a highly driven professional woman I returned to work on my own terms after having kids, but necessity later drew me back into full time work in the Child Protection support arena.
It was a combination of all these elements that eventually led me to reaching breakdown point, and it was my perfectionist personality the made me push right on through and eventually crumble.
I get you, I was there trying to juggle all the balls, trapped in a self made idealism and fighting to take a breath on my own.
It is Because YOU Care that this is so important, you need to invest in you and sustainable caring in order to have a future in Social Work, and I promise everyone around you will benefit just as much as you do.
