We will hear Vicki's own journey from completing her Social work training 10 years ago to where she is today. Vicki shares her journey into social work and her transition into podcasting and starting her own business. We discuss the challenges of family life, societal expectations, and the importance of personal identity beyond professional roles. The conversation explores the complexities of working in social care and healthcare, the significance of following one's passions, and the challenges of collaboration between sectors, and much more! And of course we will be talking about strategies for preventing stress and burnout, and how Vicki provides valuable support to new social workers, emphasising the need for self-care and understanding systemic challenges.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH Vicki:</strong></p><p>You can connect with Vicki and her invaluable work through:</p><p><br></p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM </strong>- <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/vickishevlin_/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong> - <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/socialworksorted?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadV0jHdF7h3F5ixqo8iCEDrgLBJvtYIcqFCYk18JAVNCh7Hl0Glm5xXGPQvaw_aem_y2UyTL6poXhlUiZvv-QrbQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vicki Shevlin | Linktree</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>FOLLOW REVIVE AND THRIVE:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>INSTAGRAM: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reviveandthrive_pod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Revive &amp; Thrive (@reviveandthrive_pod) • Instagram photos and videos</a></p><p><br></p><p>CONTACT US BY EMAIL: reviveandthrivepod1@gmail.co</p>","author_name":"Rich Bagnall"}
