Save the Social Worker
MARCH 24, 2021
Introduction. I must confess. I have been wanting to quit social work. It’s not because the work isn’t fulfilling, or that the work isn’t meaningful. It’s that I keep falling over the same things, over and over again. I keep struggling whenever a client raises difficult emotions, especially at me. I have no idea how to manage it. I think: Maybe this just isn’t for me.

Some people experience one but not the other, some find that one leads to the other and others experience both at the same time. It can be difficult.

Life as we knew it changed almost overnight with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. To date, almost 100 million people have been infected with and approximately 2 million of those have died from the SARS-2-CoV 2019 virus (COVID-19). What’s not accounted for in these numbers, however, is how many people have been impacted by the pandemic without actually contracting the virus.

While it’s an occupational hazard for the police, ambulance crews, doctors and nurses to have to deal with dead and dying people, it’s fairly unusual for social workers to have such experiences. In over 40 years of being a social worker, I’ve been in the unfortunate position of being directly involved in the discovery of a recently deceased person on only four occasions.

Photo by Nathan Dumlao. Suppose you’re at work and your coworker says something negative about your outfit. You might have something to say back to them but don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of your manager so you begrudgingly decide to keep quiet about it. By the time you come home, you’re probably already tired from stewing in that negative atmosphere.

Assessments under the Mental Health Act are rarely, if ever, depicted in TV drama.
