Abstract	The study explored the professional and personal stress experienced by the social work students at the Bicol University, Daraga Campus in the Philippines during their field instruction. Furthermore, it sought to discuss the implications for social work education, particularly in the field instruction program. It employed qualitative methods to gather and analyze the data. The study revealed significant and interrelated themes based on the qualitative analysis derived from the conducted focus group discussion and review of documents. In terms of the professional stressors, the following were identified: organizational processes, interpersonal relationships with the staff, agency politics, physical set-up, and characteristics of clients. In terms of personal stressors, the respondents identified the following: academic requirements and pressure, family issues and concerns, financial limitations, and health conditions. These situations affected the students' physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. The results of the study suggest that integrating subjects related to the prevention of stress and the promotion of self-care in the social work curriculum and in supervision can help social work students to better cope with professional stress, academic responsibilities, and personal challenges. It may lead to future social workers who know how to maintain healthy well-being, making them more effective, competent, and ethical practitioners. (As Provided).
