Social workers talk about mental health every day, just never our own

In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince Peart and Cara Davis take on a difficult truth in the profession: social workers talk about mental health every day, just rarely their own. Through Cara’s deeply personal account of living with an eating disorder while working in frontline practice, and Vince’s reflections on what that silence costs the workforce, the conversation explores stigma, disclosure, workplace culture, and the unspoken hierarchy of which mental health struggles feel “acceptable” to admit. It is an honest, challenging episode about vulnerability, recovery, and why social workers are not failing when they struggle, but revealing something profoundly human.
