Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

The first episode in a series of short, practical tools for social workers designed to fit into your busy day, whether that's before a difficult child protection conference, on the drive between visits, or in the last few minutes before you close your laptop.

This episode lays the groundwork for the rest of the series: it introduces "empathy based stress" as an umbrella term for the emotional impact of repeatedly, empathetically engaging with other people's distress,

In this episode:

• Why the series uses the term 'empathy-based stress' rather than vicarious trauma, secondary trauma., work related stress or burnout.
• How to tell whether you might be dealing with empathy based stress.
• The long term impact empathy based stress can have on your wellbeing.

This episode is one of the 'foundations' where we share some of the theory behind the tools we'll share in later episodes.
