WELLBEING ZONE
13-14 May 2009
We know being a social care professional can be a stressful and demanding job, which is why we’ve created a Wellbeing Zone at Community Care Live 09 to help you strike the right balance. This zone is sponsored by BASW (British Association of Social Workers) who play a key role in supporting and promoting the profession and will include stress management sessions and other activities to help you better manage your work-life balance.
BASW’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving as a Social Worker
BASW will be creating a “surgery” to give social workers a chance to talk about their issues to BASW staff and members in person and hear expert advice about how BASW can help. They will be drawing on real-life case studies of support they have given to social workers in difficulty to help you with your issues.
