I need help ASAP! This is for a Social Work class, and I can't have no wrong answers to this. If the answers are incorrect or not pertain to this you won't be flagged as brainiest. It'll just get automatically deleted, Thanks! Also Please list your references/Work Cited. Self-care and self-reflection. Please read the following blog and submit thoughts on top three points noted, as well as how you plan to implement self-care into your daily and professional life. Topic #1: Returning to IRL (In Real Life) Practice is TrickyMany of us will continue to engage in practice in a hybrid fashion the door to Zoom rooms has been opened and isnt going to close any time soon, if ever. Returning to in-person interactions and being with people reminds us of the value of engagement and the energy thats generated when we are physically together.Boundaries are influenced by this re-entry and re-creation of how we engage in our work. Paying attention to how were feeling, perceiving, and approaching ourselves, our colleagues, and our clients is critical to clear, professional, and flexible boundaries. It may require us to revisit the Code of Ethics and to re-establish our professional way of being in our practice.Topic #2: Burnout is (still) a RealityThe degree and intensity of burnout for many social workers runs along a broad spectrum. Pre-pandemic, our profession was all too familiar with the reality of burnout; some may say we coined the term. When we experience the nagging, exhausted, spark-less feelings about our work, it is imperative that we consider the impact not only on ourselves, but our clients, communities, and our profession. Self-reflection about how we are engaging in the work will influence our decisions about boundary expression. If were feeling out of balance, is it related to the ways our work lives have changed and blurred even further with our personal lives? Perhaps creating limits and space between work and home is a place to re-start.Topic #3: Self-Care Requires Intentional Boundary SettingNow an official, ethical value in our profession, self-care remains as relevant as it always has been and a practice that if approached intentionally, will benefit how our boundaries are implemented in our work and personal lives.Disclaimer: The National Association of Social Workers invites members to share their expertise and experiences through Member Voices.
