Self care to me is finding the correct balance of a professional career and a personal life. it is important to discuss any issues that arise with your line manager and then leave work at work and not to bring it home with you, this can have a complication to your physical health and mental health. Persons involved in personal care would depend on individuals, GP's, Line Manager, Family, Counselling all may play a part in ensuring your self care is met.

Self care is managing your own wellbeing at all times, but especially during stressful times. It is seeking help when needed and finding healthy ways to unwind and process your day. It is protecting those attributes that make a person resilient such as a good sense of humour and overall positive attitude and ensuring that time is set aside for this. Making efficient use of time allows for other commitments to be met so that you don't feel pressured by these. ARU offers emergency help and crisis support to students as well as health and wellbeing advice.

Self care to me means creating a positive work/home balance. Leave work at work but if working from home make certain to clear away work so that it can be left for the next working day. Have days assigned just for me doing what I enjoy and not worrying about anyone else. I enjoy my family being part of my self care but sometimes I need to be by myself completely. I feel it is of great importance to know what works well for you.

Self care, in my point of view, is taking care of oneself mentally, physically and emotionally so that you will be able to give out the best of yourself. Being able to balance work and personal life. Making time to rejuvenate. You are the one who should be involved in your self care. You could also involve counsellors if you are struggling or family and friends.

Self care in my opinion is very important and everyone needs some form of self care and time for their selves. As an individual who has/had mental health problems self care is very important and I have finally found the right balance of work and personal time/self care which is right for me. It is all about balance with everything in life such as a balanced diet you need fruits and vegetables but you can also have crisps, sweets and chocolate. Now that I have found my balance I feel so much better in myself and especially if you want a career in something like social work you need to find time for yourself and find a balance that works for you.

Self care is an act that where we ensure that we are physically, mentally and socially well enough to help others. We need to ensure we have a Work/Life balance, so we can offload and unwind from highly emotive situations that we will face as a SW. Through supervisions we can communicate expectations and worries and be offered support. However, we are responsible for making time for our own self care by knowing our limitations, but we must reach out to our support networks as and when required.

Self care is vital to ensure that we can be resilient as social workers. If we do not look after our own mental health first, we will not be able to help others effectively. Balancing our personal and professional roles as individuals is very important.

Self care is looking after yourself both physically and mentally. Covering the basics such as sleeping eating and maintaining hygiene however, self care mentally can vary from person to person. the only component that remains the same is that, what you choose as your self care should make you feel better and refreshed. As a social worker, self care is very important as you are essentially trying to support service users, you cannot support others if you do not support yourself first.

In my opinion, self care is to be able to set up balance in life regardless your responsibilities. It is to manage what you give with what you receive, to be aware of your needs and to keep positive. But self care is also to acknowledge that we cannot always do everything by ourselves, and to know that is ok to seek help and support when needed. Any social worker, has to be able to point this and seek support when needed, to then be able to help others .
