Significant life events as a journey of meaning making and change among at-risk youths
The study examined at-risk youths’ meaning making of their own significant life events and the contribution of these events to changes in their lives. Narrative interviews with 14 Israeli at-risk youths (aged 16–18) revealed three themes: (a) the event as a powerful, emotional-awakening experience; (b) self-inquiry following the event, differentiating between life before and after, and (c) biographical changes in the youths’ lives. Despite the di…

Using a phenomenological design, we analyzed individuals' experiences, decision-making processes, and views of gains and costs regarding con…
