Abstract
The purpose of this capstone project is to take a deep dive into the issue of burnout among marginalized healthcare providers. This paper will dissect key points in history that target wellness and define terms that are relevant to understanding the effects of burnout on a person’s work-life balance. It will be divided into several sections, including an overview of the problem and contributing factors, a thorough review of relevant literature, a conceptual idea that will explore both the problem at hand and theories that can help with its effects, and finally a practice application that will serve as the recommendation for a change in policy to act as preventative care and education for working social workers in the field. Each section will walk us through existing research, theory, and practice of Commonwealth of Kentucky-Licensed Clinical Social Worker’s (LCSWs). The end goal of this paper will be the acknowledgment of the professional failings of social workers in the field, as well as an actionable plan that will create change for a healthier practice for the future of the social work profession.
