Self Care Group

Just a Social Worker is excited to announce I am starting a self care group for social workers and mental health professionals that is scheduled to meet on 1/22/2021 at 7pm EST through Google Meet. I hope to have this group meeting on a monthly basis and bring topics/needs to the group to discuss. Our first group will focus on self care tips and ideas to use including the use of self-compassion. I will be posting the link at the end for the blog.

My goal and wish for this group

I want to support people on their self care journey in whatever way that looks as well as to stress there is not any right or wrong way to work on self care. There is not a plan or specific way of doing self care that is the “right way” because we all have different needs. Self care also look like racial justice work, sexism work, work on sexuality, pay inequity for social workers, and challenging systems that keep people oppressed. As a social worker, it is my job to speak out against all systems of oppression as they have a direct impact on my life even if I don’t always see it.

I hope this group will come to cultivate the various ways we can care for each other, support each other and bring greater uplifting to the larger community we each live in. I look forward to seeing you and please email me at justasocialwrker@gmail. Take care of yourself!
