SPARK Resilience in the workplace sessions and associated tools.
SESSION
The final three sessions are devoted to helping participants apply these skills in their workplace context. Session 6 helps the participants to select personally relevant techniques that can be used under pressure. It introduces KRAP, an inversed SPARK tool using the “Knowledge–Reaction–Affect–Perception” sequence based on the premise that in stressful situations emotional regulation should precede cognitive reframing [Every session begins with a brief introduction and a voluntary review of homework from the previous session followed by a 5-minute inclusion exercise (e.g., a quiz, a question to share responses or a brief guided positive psychology intervention). Next, the topic of the daily session and associated strategies are introduced. Each session normally includes 1 to 3 small-group sessions with 3 to 6 participants per group taking 30 to 45 minutes altogether. At the end, a 15-minute mindfulness exercise appropriate to the session’s topic is performed.
