The sample studied were teenagers aged 13 to 17 in Kerman who had experienced the divorce of their parents and had referred to counseling centers (Jomhuri Blvd, EmamJomeh, and HezaroyekShab Street) in Kerman. After the screening and using the available method after visiting the counseling centers in Kerman, the researcher selected 100 people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Conclusion:The research results showed that sensitivity to rejection negatively and significantly predicts post-traumatic growth in teenagers with divorced parents, and resilience positively and significantly predicts post-traumatic growth in teenagers with divorced parents
