Workplace bullying, burnout, and work-related stress are significant issues that can have detrimental effects on individuals in various professions.

In this episode, our guest, Frances Caile shares her experiences and insights on workplace bullying, burnout, and work-related stress. She explains how she was drawn to social work and her transition to private practice to have more time to do good work without the politics of organisations and paperwork.
