Abstract

A large proportion of homeless youth in our sample reported high levels of flourishing and satisfaction with life (SWL). Lower SWL and flourishing were associated with having medical insurance, having a mobile phone, ever receiving therapy for emotional problems, and higher levels of childhood trauma.
