The Ethical Imperative of Professional Well-Being

Date: Aug 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. CT

Zoom

1 CEU (Ethics)

Description:

Professional well-being is more than self-care—it is an ethical responsibility. Social workers routinely face burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, and institutional pressures that can erode both personal well-being and professional effectiveness. This workshop introduces the Third Space Well-Being Model, a framework centered on alignment, dignity, self-trust, and psychological sustainability. Participants will explore how chronic over-adaptation contributes to burnout, examine the relationship between well-being and ethical practice, and learn practical strategies for building a sustainable professional life that supports both client care and personal flourishing.
