The effects of burnout on client service provision, organizational health, and individual well-being are increasingly a focus of social work research, particularly against the societal backdrop of the post-COVID-19 era. Children and their families rely on school social workers (SSWs) to meet increasingly pressing and common mental health needs. However, burnout may jeopardize not only SSWs’ well-being, but also their collective ability to serve this vulnerable population.

Schemas (in general) are our beliefs that we hold about ourselves, the world around us, and the world of others. You can think of schemas as frameworks, or structures, through the lens of which we organize and make sense of our life experiences. These beliefs operate in the background of our awareness, yet they have great influence over our sense of self, our expectations about life, and the quality of our relationships.

As someone who lives with anxiety, my brain often feels like it’s moving a million miles per hour.

I’ve noticed the themes of relaxing and slowing down on my posts in recent months, and I think that’s a response to my current state of being.

Adolescence is an important developmental period during which youth experience key changes in their ability to regulate emotions and behavior, and engage in more reward-seeking and risk-taking behaviors than during childhood (Andrews et al., 2021; Steinberg et al., 2008). Adolescents who have difficulties with emotional and behavioral regulation are at elevated risk for externalizing problems (e.g., defiance, aggression, impulsivity, antisocial behaviors).
