What this trial studies
The Building Community Resilience Program (BCR) aims to improve the emotional well-being and resilience of Community Health Workers (CHWs) and frontline workers in New York City. Over four years, the program will implement educational workshops and assess their impact through pre- and post-surveys, utilizing a quasi-experimental design with a waitlist control group. This approach allows for a thorough evaluation of the intervention's effectiveness while ensuring that all participating organizations eventually receive the benefits of the program. The study will focus on measuring changes in stress, resilience, and overall well-being among participants.
