The purpose of this paper is to explore what problems adolescents encounter in their studies and lives, and to discuss how to use the Strengths Perspective Theory to promote the level of adolescents' resilience in social work practice. The Strengths Perspective Theory emphasizes focusing on people's inner strengths and advantageous resources, and helps adolescents to be able to make positive and rational choices and ways of dealing with adversity by tapping and utilizing their potentials. The article firstly introduces the basic concepts and practical principles of the Strengths Perspective Theory, then analyzes the adversities faced by contemporary adolescents and their impacts, and at the same time, analyzes the role played by social workers in enhancing the level of adolescents' resilience, and finally describes how social workers can apply the Strengths Perspective Theory to enhance adolescents' resilience from the perspective of professional social workers.
