Purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data. The sample consisted of 102 mental health trainees: 90 were females and 12 were males. Out of 102 participants, 47 were from 1st semester, 23were from 2nd semester, 23 were from 3rd semester and 9 were from 4th semester. Self-Compassion Scale- Short Form (SCS-SF), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) Scale (18 items) were used to measure self-compassion, psychological inflexibility, resilience and psychological wellbeing. Correlation unveiled significant relationship of self-compassion, psychological inflexibility and resilience with psychological wellbeing while psychological inflexibility had a significant negative correlation with self-compassion and psychological well-being. There were significant gender differences in levels of resilience and there were also significant differences in levels of psychological wellbeing among mental health trainees studying in different semesters. Multiple regression analysis showed that self-compassion, psychological inflexibility and resilience significantly predict psychological wellbeing while psychological inflexibility moderated the relationship between self-compassion and psychological wellbeing.
