VT&CF Week 9 Assignment

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources on workplace environments and self-care.
• Access and navigate to the Case Studies interactive media in the Learning Resources. Pay close attention to the organizational policies, culture, and practices that either support or erode workers’ health and resilience. Reflect on the implications and how you might advocate for change. 

Submit a 3- to 4-page paper in which you:  

• Explain the extent to which the organization contributes to unrealistic expectations. What are the expectations of the agency that support resilience or perpetuate burnout in social workers?
• Analyze the wider impact of the organization’s culture and practices. What implications are there for the larger community if social workers are not showing up as their best selves at this workplace?
• Explain how you would advocate for the organization to be supportive of social workers’ health and resilience. 

Use the Learning Resources to support your Assignment. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.
