I am going into social work and don't know how to deal with family separation. How do you overcome the stress of splitting up broken families?

I do not believe that social workers split up broken families. I have been working in the field for over 15 years and I know each individual plays a role in their family. Teaching healthy communication / relationship skills/ practicing empathy and managing stressors will keep families united.
Provide a space for the family to process their feeling and talk. Reassure the children that no one is leaving them. Give them the information they need to know that they will be taken care of.
