The SPARK2 tool is a self-reflective evaluation tool for professionals working in community and social services, supporting them to develop a tailored selfcare plan. It aims to prevent burnout, secondary trauma, vicarious trauma, and moral injury by encouraging professionals to reflect on distinct areas in their personal and professional lives. Using evidence-informed prompts, practitioners can assess, what, if any, changes are necessary to improve their welfare. This tool aims to build personal resilience in professionals as an ongoing process. It provides a reminder that kindness and compassion towards ourselves and others are essential components in our personal and professional satisfaction.
