Background and study aims The aim of this study is to evaluate resilience training for emergency workers. The group-based intervention has been developed by the national mental health charity, Mind. We will compare Mind’s group-based resilience intervention for emergency personnel with the same intervention delivered with one online top-up training session. Who can participate? Student paramedics who do not have post-traumatic stress disorder or depression What does the study involve? Participants are randomly allocated to receive either Mind’s resilience intervention or Mind's resilience intervention plus a new internet-based top-up session. The two groups' resilience and use of psychological coping strategies are then compared. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Participation in the study could lead to participants' resilience being improved. Participation will also guide improvements to future resilience interventions. There are no risks associated with taking part. Where is the study run from?
