Work stress, I’m a frontline youth counsellor, currently in my second year of the Social Work Diploma program.
I’m not lovin the front line work. I’ve had so many good experiences, but now I’m like concerned for my safety working there. But I’m still just learning and I don’t want to give up just yet because I have a lot of feelings. I do work through a trauma informed lens, but I’m learning quick how abusive kids in care can be to staff, and it’s just not good for my mental health.
I am also a waitress. So that just says a lot in itself. People are horrible to serving staff. So I face a lot of abuse from people I’m just trying to help. And I know it’s not about me, but I have a lot of feelings. And I don’t believe that’s a bad thing. It’s all just getting really heavy. I know I’m going into Social Work, however, I know that there are opportunities out there for me that don’t involve getting chicken thrown at you by drunk teenagers. I haven’t figured out what I want to do as a Social Worker, but I now know it’s not group care.
I come from a family with a lot of generational trauma. So there’s lots to sort through.
You know people think they’re fine, I think I’m ultimately fine. I have a great life and I’ve worked really hard to get here. But I’m still struggling to balance life, even though I’m doing a great job, I don’t feel like I’m doing the best I could.
