We’re changing
the narrative

You love your job as a social worker and are dedicated to your clients - but how are you coping?

If you are worried about your physical or mental health and want to reduce the risk of burnout Social Work and Beyond provides the toolkit that will help you survive and thrive in social work, or follow your vocation in a different direction.

“Working in a children’s home is more than just a job – it’s a chance to change lives and the opportunity to transform someone’s future in ways they never imagined. Every child deserves a safe, loving home – even if this can’t be with family.”

PETER BUTURO

“This is not just a book; it is a manifesto for change, a call to arms for those of us committed to the service of humanity, and a handbook for the social work social entrepreneur. I urge you to delve into its pages, for within them lies the blueprint for a future where social work and entrepreneurship walk hand in hand, creating pathways to a better world.”

I found Social Work and Beyond an engaging and enjoyable read. It was inspiring to learn about the author’s journey to becoming a social worker where he shares with the reader some of the most intimate and challenging times in his life.

Equally, I appreciate Peter’s honesty in appraising the social work role today in terms of both its rich rewards but also the huge demands it places on individuals resulting sadly, in many exiting the profession prematurely.

Social work and entrepreneurship need not be strange bedfellows if they accord with the values and principles of our profession.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s an important and useable contribution to our field and one I recommend as a must-read. It’s full of valuable insights and practical knowledge underpinned by a hope and optimism only a great social worker could bring. I wish I’d had this resource when I ventured into the “business” side of social work.”
