| Biosketch | Prof Wim Roestenburg has been a professor of social work at the North-West University, Potchefstroom for the past eight years. This is his third academic appointment following UJ and UNISA during a 30-year academic career. As a Master’s in Business Administration graduate and former well-being counselor in the Mining Industry that included Anglo American and Chamber of Mines, he has a keen interest in employee well-being issues and the organizational responses. The study on the resilience of social work students and educators is of interest to him as it will be possible to assess the well-being of these two groups and recommend interventions for improving learning and working conditions of these two groups. A recently completed study on quantitative indicators of employee well-being with MSW student Palesa Seodi at the Gauteng Department of Health fits the current study directly combining business studies with social work education and well-being. |

| Abstract | The social work profession is only as strong as the professionals who practice it. However, during their work and training, social workers and student social workers must manage many stressful and emotionally taxing matters that may affect their well-being. These stressors require practitioners to have inner strength and resilience. Rising awareness of threats to staff and student wellness in the social work training and educational environment affects graduates’ outcomes and practice readiness. This study, therefore, embarks on a quantitative and qualitative investigation to determine both the risk and protective factors in social work training programmes across a selection of Higher Education Institutions in South Africa. It seeks to make recommendations for both the development of the curriculum and support structures that need to be in place to support both staff and students. |
