A new survey by Springtide Research Institute indicates that the best remedy for the current post-COVID mental health crisis in youth may lie not in psychology but in religion.
In a study involving 10,000 individuals aged 13-24, 57% of those surveyed agreed their religious or spiritual practices positively impact their mental health and even more amongst young people who identified as religious at 73%. Many surveyed include prayer as part of their spiritual practice. 51% said they started to pray regularly during the pandemic. 74% of those who pray daily say they are flourishing compared to the 57% of those who never pray who say the same.
