Abstract : This research is aimed at comparing resilience and health in adolescents who are orphans vs. adolescents who are not. The aim of the study is to apply resilience and health research to devise practical ways to help orphans and non-orphans to enhance psychosocial resilience. Research has shown that teens who are not orphans have lower life fulfillment and higher rates of anxiety and depression than orphans. Previous studies have shown that orphans face many challenges and barriers to building psychological resilience due to their limited access to resources. Interventions to address the issue are required to enhance the psychological resilience of orphans. Research suggests that social and psychological factors such as coping strategies, community resources and emotional support are vital for building psychological resilience. The present research study will apply a comparative research methodology to identify and evaluate programs that address the development of the resilience-related characteristics stated above. Research shows that the well-being of both orphans and non-orphans is positively affected by peer relations, family relationships and public support systems.
