| Description | OBJECTIVES: The aim of the article is to answer the research question: “Which resilience protective factors do social workers working with families at risk identify within the scope of their profession?" THEORETICAL BASE: This text focuses on the concept of resilience in the context of the well-being of social workers. METHODS: Six focus groups with a total of 38 participants were conducted in the Czech Republic among social workers providing services to families in need. OUTCOMES: The research focuses on positive aspects of professional activity, as they may play a key role in the resilience process. Thematic analysis yielded the following themes: (1) connectedness, (2) education and professional experience, and (3) resources based on cooperating with clients. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: Among the research implications we point out the dynamic aspect of resilience as well as the need for support from other environments to manage professional problems, because resilience is not an individualized concept. |
