Description of intervention(s) / exposure

Current studies will modify and implement a resilience-building intervention based on an R2 resilience program. The R2 Resilience program is designed with the principles of implementation science (Ryeroft-Malone et al.,2013). The multisystem aspect of the intervention allows it to focus on multiple systems for the individual’s change process and adaptation process around life circumstances. It emphasizes the surrounding environments to the individual. It is a curriculum-based approach grouping together all the well-researched factors (Ungar,2020). Then, the factors and aspects are modified and implemented into the resilience-building intervention accordingly.

It will focus on skills such as collaborative helping, making resources available, exploring barriers to change, building bridges to new services and support, identifying meaningful resources, keeping solutions complex, finding allies, asking whether coping strategies are adaptive or maladaptive, exploring the client's level of motivation of change and engage in advocacy.

The intervention will be carried out in Malay or English. It aims to encompass both languages and will be provided according to the native language of the participants. Therapists will be trained to follow the protocol and the manual. At the end of the session, a recap will be conducted. Dynamic assessment will be used to track the learning progress. Participants will use journaling as a method to practice the skills. In addition, progress and practice will be discussed at the beginning of each session. Only two formal assessments will be conducted throughout the studies: pre and post-measurement. The intervention will be conducted via physical session. The helper will be recruited to carry out the intervention and collect data. The current study will be designed with six sessions, each session 120 minutes. The sessions are 120 minutes per session and will be held weekly. The session will be conducted in a group of 5. Participants will be asked to journal their thought and process after the session. A discussion will be carried out at the beginning of every session to recap what has been learned. A session attendance checklist will be applied to monitor the session.
