In a world that often disempowers us, *52 Week*s offers a spirited and
seamless approach to both self-care and community care which is both
refreshing and radical. Step by step Farzana shows us how to reclaim care
and our power.

This practical workbook explores *self-care *and *community care*
from an inside-out and collective approach.
It’s for anyone who works with people or causes and who, like me,
has struggled with burnout, vicarious trauma and finding balance.
*A valuable resource for individuals, groups and staff teams.*
*Available March 2024 (August for USA) *

*I've been a social worker and activist for 35 years. This book is the
result of thousands of conversations I've had with friends, healers,
clients, colleagues and comrades. I’ve learned that the traumas and losses
we experienced growing up have taught us how to be helpers and activists.
Heaped on are the oppressive messages that colonialism, capitalism,
patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism and ageism teach us
about caring for ourselves and others. The good news: we developed super
powers—as empathic listeners, change-makers, crisis managers, social
justice warriors or problem-solvers. And the bad news? We likely weren’t
taught how to metabolize messy feelings or manage boundaries and conflict.
The end result? Many of us find it hard to escape the cycle of overwork,
overwhelm and recovery. My hope is that this book helps readers explore
personal and political barriers to, and new options for, self-care and
community care. *

*52 Weeks to a Sweeter Life* asks us as service providers to take a leap of
faith, invest in our well-being without guilt, and commit to self-care.
This is the best resource for service providers that I have seen in a long
time.
