Courage to Care

What does it mean to care deeply in a world that often demands distance?
What does it take to show up, again and again, for others—and for yourself?

In The Courage to Care, over 50 clinicians from the SWEET Institute open their hearts and share their journeys—stories of how they began, what shaped them, the challenges they faced, and the meaning they’ve found along the way. These are not stories of superheroes, but of humans: honest, complex, resilient, and profoundly dedicated.

This groundbreaking book offers a rare, intimate look behind the titles—into the lives of the people who serve. It is a celebration of the profession of social work and a testament to the healing that happens when we listen, reflect, and remember who we are.
