RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY

Springtide Research Institute’s research illuminates what and how young people think, feel, and believe about religion and spirituality. Our studies address belonging within faith communities, how religion and spirituality impacts mental health, and why young people remain religiously affiliated (or why they disaffiliate). Springtide findings advance understanding about the many ways young people express their religious and spiritual lives—both within traditional religious structures and beyond them.
