Adolescence, a critical period of transformation, is often marked by challenges that impact psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This meta-analysis investigates resilience’s role in fostering these well-being dimensions among adolescents. The analysis highlights resilience as a pivotal factor that predicts and enhances mental health outcomes, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth. The influence of supportive environments, the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal, and the integration of spirituality in fostering a sense of purpose. The study emphasizes the need for resilience-building interventions, which can inform global initiatives such as the PMNCH Agenda for Action for Adolescents (2023-2025) contributing to adolescent-friendly policies and practices. This research bridges gaps in the literature, providing actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and caregivers to empower adolescents in navigating life’s challenges effectively.
