when looking at the diagram of resilience, it looks like a seesaw with weights being added to the either end, and the point in the middle, the fulcrum this the individual worker, social worker. This point could be marked the last straw. Having worked in social care for thirty years, plus in a variety of settings, my camel point was a succession of safeguarding concerns, toxic mix of clients who were demanding and threatening caseload, a slightly less than sympathetic team manager who was focused on budget management and team target levels.
Back in the real life personal life, which included the death of ten + relatives and acquaintances in eighteen months.
My life was turning into ,Agatha Christie murder novel.
Resilience by the truckload not enough to manage all them straws emotional impacts

Supportive interventions came via short-term medication, time to recuperate, three months, returned to work and counselling. This resulted in changes in my lifestyle, e.g. change jobs to a different social client group , new location. And though there are days I think hellfire. I become resilient, or self-protective.
I would like to think resilient, this self-protective sounds a bit aloof, not a team player out for one’s own interest. But ultimately, if you’re not able to manage it yourself, you burn.

Resilience needs to be promoted, intervention by oneself, self-preservation and promoting preservation of others is what it’s about. We are all individuals in a team and we are interlinked like a Venn diagram, and where we touch or overlap. We have an impact both positive and negative. Hopefully we try to promote a positive contact point.
