As a social worker, celebrating wins is so important. Our work is hard and we often feel like no progress is happening. One thing that sustained me while working in challenging settings (assertive community treatment and children's long-term inpatient) was identifying and celebrating wins. This photo is from my vet's office, and it reminded me of the importance of finding wins (and finding humor) in our daily routines - both are critical to self-care. We can only continue to help others if we take care of ourselves and our teams.
