Background: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced people’s personal and community well-being.The ecological model of trauma recovery argues that psychological outcomes of facing potentially traumatic events result from the characteristics of the event (e.g., pandemic), the way people perceive it, and their interactions with their social environments (e.g., participation in community activity) and their personal and community resources.Aims: The present study sought to examine factors connected to personal and community well-being during the COVID-19 crisis. We predicted that lower exposure to COVID-19 stressors and lower sense of danger, involvement in the community COVID-teams, and having higher levels of personal and community resources would be associated with greater personal and community well-being.Method: 539 participants, of whom 262 were community activists, completed online questionnaires.Main findings: Hierarchical regression analyses showed that community activists and participants with higher levels of personal and community resources reported greater personal and community well-being. Objective exposure to COVID-19 was not associated with well-being. However,participating in community activities within COVID-teams moderated the association between subjective sense of danger and both dimensions of well-being. Conclusions and implications for practice: Our findings showed that the factors beneficially associated with well-being are those that are amenable to change, such as participation in community activity, and personal and community resources. These resources can be strengthened by social workers intervening with people and communities in crisis.
