It is my professional mission to uphold the social work code of ethics in my practice as a social worker while also actively working to prevent burnout within myself. The profession of social work is one of the most impactful on the practitioner’s mind, body, and soul and because of this, we must prioritize self-care. Therefore, I prioritize this In my professional mission as I will not be able to serve my clients to the best ability if I am not also taking care of myself. As a professional, it is also my mission to work with policy advocacy to better support the caretakers of my future clients in the geriatric field. Being a loved one’s caretaker is one of the most taxing roles in a family and this needs to be recognized and supported by practitioners and their organizations.
