| | Caseworker Blues |
 | | As a CPS (Child Protective Services) Caseworker, we are spread too thin and I'm burning out. |
 | | What do you do when you are hired as a social worker, but told you "do too much social work." I'm a caseworker, but we must do our own court petitions, correspondence, filing, always more paperwork and, oh yes, go see your clients, but don't get involved. |
 | | On a micro level, I would, as a department, try to have caseworkers, supervisors and management try to establish a "good enough" balance that recognized resources and personnel realities, needs of clients and needs and endurance limits of professionals. |
