Why is it important?

Stress and burnout are of increasing concern among social workers the world over. Women social workers in India are particularly vulnerable as they work in a demanding occupation that is by nature of a high pressure. Besides meeting their occupational roles they also have to balance the demands of supporting family needs. Further occupational roles may not be clearly defined and job security is often not guaranteed. As such understanding work related stress, burnout and resilience are important considerations.
