Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate and describe the relationship between the psychosocial well-being and supervision of Child and Youth Care Workers (CYCW) within Child and Youth Care Centers (CYCC) to determine whether the CYCW obtain sufficient psychosocial support within the workplace. Section A consists of two (2) parts. Part one (1) of Section A focuses on the research orientation and problem statement as well as a summary of the research methodology used to carry out the study. Part two (2) consists of the literature study that was conducted. The research problem of the study is as follows: CYCW is seen as the primary caregivers of children within CYCC. Due to various reasons such as child abuse and neglect, children are lawfully placed in the care of CYCC if the children are found in need of care and protection by the court. These children are exposed to a lot of trauma, which can lead to secondary trauma and even emotional burnout of those in whose care the children are placed. It is therefore important that CYCW acquire sufficient psychosocial support to ensure that they provide high quality services to the children. There are limited literature and studies available on the psychosocial well-being of CYCW. The problem statement led to one research objective and thus it was to determine if there was a connection between the psychosocial well-being and supervision of CYCW.
