Social Vampires and Social Workers

Update: 2025-10-03

Description

This week's podcast, inspired by THIS story, sees our hosts explore the concept of social vampires - the people or dynamics that constantly take without giving, leaving us depleted. Vince and Cara examine how this relates to social work, from bureaucracy, and toxic workplace cultures, to overly demanding colleagues, and even unhealthy client dynamics.

Join the conversation every Friday morning. Created by social workers, for social workers.
