Learning Goal: I’m working on a sociology writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
In this module, we review the potential for burnout in the human services field, which can be exacerbated by toxic work environments and difficult cases like the one we have been discussing. The services that we are able to provide for clients are largely impacted by our work environments. The human service worker has a responsibility to recognize these unhealthy, unethical dynamics and avoid them. Amanda’s case is just one of 20 cases the human service worker is currently assigned, with a standard caseload generally being around 15 cases in your state. Workers within the team recently started working some evenings and weekends to keep up with documentation, sometimes accepting work calls or texts from clients. Many within the team are beginning to experience burnout.
