Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The preliminary findings of this research highlight the resiliency, retention, and protective factors of Title IV-E child welfare workers. This study aims to better understand the relationship between the effects of working in a field with high exposure to vicarious trauma, and a social worker's own personal resiliency and coping strategies. The implications of our research suggest several ways agencies and educators can increase the well-being and sustainability of social workers. Improving the well-being of child welfare workers can have a substantial impact on the experiences and outcomes of children and families in our communities.
