Abstract This study investigated the effects of spiritual intelligence training on the resilience of women in female-headed households in Yazd. The population consists of female heads of households who were supported by the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation in 2016. Thirty women were randomly selected and then randomly divided into two equal groups, experimental and control. The data was collected using Connor & Davidson’s Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The experimental group received eight weekly sessions of spiritual intelligence training based on the package by Bowl (2004) and then both groups completed the post-test. Data analysis was done through an ANCOVA. The results indicated a significant increase in all components of resilience, namely personal strength, control and secure connections, at mean scores of subjects in the experimental groups on the post-test. Keywords: Spiritual Intelligence, Resiliency, Female Heads of Households, Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation
