Where do I begin? How are you now reading "Diary of the Burnt-Out Social Worker"? I will start with inconsistent support, lackluster supervision, navigating oppressive systems and clients, my own mental health and vicarious trauma, juggling productivity standards and concurrent documentation, licensure test anxiety, and impostor syndrome. All these struggles led me to therapy, where I was diligently exploring a career change. As I reflected on purpose and whether being a Social Worker/Therapist aligned with it, I created "Diary of the Burnt-Out Social Worker". You will see how I struggled to build my career to inspire others and how I ended up inspiring myself.

"Diary of Burnt-Out Social Worker" is a blog that serves as a mentorship program, offering intimate support to our fellow social workers, whether they are students or experienced professionals, and promoting self-care and well-being.
