Abstract

It is widely recognised that social workers need to enhance their emotional resilience to protect their well-being in an increasingly stressful profession, but little is known about how this might be achieved. This study utilised a repeated measures wait-list controlled design to evaluate a multi-modal intervention for newly-qualified social workers employed in children’s services on levels of resilience and well-being and associated personal resources previously found to underpin resilience (i.e. emotional self efficacy, self compassion and satisfaction/fatigue and psychological flexibility). The interventions were found to yield benefits for wellbeing that were generally maintained over time.
