Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Trauma Studies
  • Intervention Science

Context:

  • Individuals experiencing catastrophes and trauma often develop mental illness or persistent subclinical distress, limiting psychosocial functioning.
  • Those with subclinical distress rarely access psychosocial support services.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for flexible intervention delivery methods.

Purpose:

  • To introduce the Skills fOr Life Adjustment and Resilience (SOLAR) program, a brief intervention for persistent subclinical distress.
  • To report preliminary findings on participant satisfaction with the SOLAR program delivered via face-to-face and video conferencing formats.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of the SOLAR program during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary:

  • The SOLAR program, developed by international experts, consists of five weekly group sessions teaching behavioral therapy elements.
  • A pilot study involved 30 participants, with 15 receiving the program face-to-face and 15 via video conferencing.
  • Participant satisfaction was assessed using the client satisfaction questionnaire (CSQ-8).

Impact:

  • Participants reported being "largely" to "very satisfied" with the SOLAR program.
  • Satisfaction levels were slightly higher in the face-to-face group compared to the video conferencing group.
  • Trainers found the program easy to implement, suggesting its practical utility.
