520 |a This study was an exploratory qualitative investigation into the role of spirituality in adolescent resilience. Using grounded theory techniques, data were gathered from one-on-one in-depth interviews with 15 adolescents about the role of spirituality in their lives. The focal areas examined were: adolescents’ understanding of spirituality and perception of whether spiritual beliefs and practices are resourced to overcome life’s lowest points. Three dimensions of spirituality emerged: (a) a transcendental perspective expressed, as a relationship with God or a higher power; (b) sense of meaning and (c) connection with the inner self. These dimensions fostered resilience by providing: (a) a sense of protection, comfort and security, (b) a sense of meaning, coherence and optimism and (c) the opportunity for increased self-awareness and self-efficacy. All but one of the participants drew on spiritual resources to overcome low points.
