Take-home messages
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention designed to enhance resilience-building in social workers in England in their first year of practice and supported by the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) programme. It specifically explored how a "multi-modal intervention" might lead to improvements in resilience-building (including self-efficacy, reflective ability and compassion for themselves and others) as well as psychological wellbeing.
The intervention included peer support and coaching; goal setting and personal organisation; self-knowledge, coping skills and stress resistance; cognitive-behavioural techniques; mindfulness and relaxation; and critical reflection skills. The intervention was delivered on three separate days' training over a period of two months by experts, and was supported by a series of self-directed activities designed to consolidate learning.
