Social Work - Another Way
Coming soon:
‘Supervision in Relationship based Social Work’.
The intensive nature of family based crisis interventions creates particular challenges for professionals. In Option 2, IFSS, and other forms of relationship based work we ask workers to immerse themselves deeply in family life and build bonds with those families at times of fierce emotional stress .
If a workers daily existence, perhaps for some years, is to become immersed for hours at a time, on a daily basis in the reality of the daily lives of a limited number of families in crisis. To share their grief, to support their positive changes. There will be an inevitable negative impact on workers themselves.
Supervision needs to be just as different for workers, as these interventions are for families. They need to be nurtured and supported and enabled to talk openly about how such interventions are affecting them emotionally.
I have been involved in this field for 11 years. I was a pioneer in this field and wrote the manual (Preventing Breakdown). In this new book I will explore current supervision models, explore the impact of such work on practitioners and propose a new model of supervision which is appropriate to this unique role.
I am currently approaching publishers.
