Spirituality is seen as a resource for preserving the mental health of clients but also as something that affects their quality of life. Students also see the social work clients’ spirituality as an area of getting to know and strengthening their relationship with God. When it comes to spirituality as a resource of social workers, the results showed that spirituality is recognized as a resource for raising awareness about oneself, but also clients. Spirituality helps and supports social workers in their professional work by helping them build a relationship with their clients and making it easier to identify clients’ strengths. Spirituality is certainly a means of protection against burnout at work, it is a source of resilience and a means of spiritual empowerment of social workers
