| dc.description.abstract | This project explores the use of spirituality in fostering resilience among Generation Z college students. Eighteen to twenty-nine -year-old brains, are more suspectable to mental illness and increased use of negative coping mechanisms. The use of spirituality as a positive coping mechanism can increase resilience and promote better mental health outcomes in young adult populations. The project begins with a social analysis of Generation Z and their current mental health trends. The focus is narrowed to Generation Z students attending Harding University, a conservative Christian school in Searcy, Arkansas. The project explores spirituality as distinct from religion, provides a biblical exegesis on suffering, trauma, stress, and offers a framework for the use spirituality as a tool to foster resilience. For strategic implementation, the author suggests the appointment of a university chaplain, integrative group therapy sessions, and integrative seminars be offered to Generation Z students on the campus of Harding University | |
