''Global News'' reported:
{{Cquote|Children who are raised with religious or spiritual beliefs tend to have better mental health into their adulthood, a new study from the [[Harvard]] T.H. Chan School of Public Health found.
According to the study’s findings, people who attended weekly religious services or prayed or meditated daily in their childhood reported greater life satisfaction in their 20s. People who grew up in a religious household also reported fewer symptoms of depression and lower rates of post-traumatic stress disorder.<ref>[https://globalnews.ca/news/4468745/religion-children-mental-health/ Religion can help improve children’s mental health, new study finds], ''Global News'', 2018</ref>}}
