This\n  three-part series helps social work students build the foundation for\n  a sustainable career before they enter the field.\nStudents will learn to recognize the occupational risks specific to\n  social work\, explore their own helping patterns and boundaries\, and\n  discover how to intentionally build peer support and professional\n  community from the start of their careers. The series emphasizes that\n  well-being is not solely an individual responsibility\; it is shaped by\n  workplaces and systems too.\n\n  Please note: while the events are geared towards social work\n    students\, all social work professionals are welcome to attend.\n\n\n  Presenter \n     \n\n\n  \n    Amanda Rocheleau\,\n        BSW\, MSW\, RSW\n    \, is a social worker and professional speaker based in Ottawa\,\n    Ontario. With 20 years of experience in the field and a bachelor's\n    and master's degree in Social Work from Carleton University\, Amanda\n    has developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by\n    helping professionals in healthcare\, social services\, education\, and\n    public service settings.\n\n\n  Her journey began\n    with a deep commitment to community work\, but after nearly a decade\n    in the field\, she saw how widespread burnout was among her\n    colleagues and felt it herself. She began to ask: how can we sustain\n    the energy and resiliency to continue helping in such a complex and\n    troubling world? This question sparked her passion for helping\n    others navigate occupational stress and build resilience\, shaping\n    the foundation of her current work.\n\n\n  As the founder of\n    her own private practice\, Amanda offers counselling and consulting\n    services to help individuals and organizations reduce the risk of\n    psychological injuries and burnout. Her practical delivery approach\n    has resonated with over 800 professional and conference groups\n    across Canada\, where she has been featured as a speaker and trainer\n    on positive workplace practices and personal well-being. Amanda has\n    also created workshops\, online courses\, workbooks\, and a podcast\n    called The\n        Giving Tree Podcast\n    \, all designed to help individuals and organizations build\n    resilience and promote sustainable well-being.\n\n\nIf you require ASL or French interpretation\, please email Jenna jenna@oasw.org. Note that\n  incorporation of interpreters will depend on availability.\nNOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION QUESTIONS:\nOASW is committed to inclusion and promoting a diverse range of\n  identities\, experiences\, perspectives\, and voices across all areas of\n  the Association. As such\, the registration contains some optional\n  questions that are intended to assist us to better understand our\n  social work community and ensure that our work is reflective of the\n  diverse membership of OASW and our profession.
