Abstrakt: Research underscores the importance of suicide resilience. Although coping and reasons for living are negatively associated with suicidal behavior, their relation to suicide resilience is unknown. This investigation tested if reasons for living mediated between culturally relevant coping (Africultural coping) and suicide resilience in high-risk, low-income, Black women. The sample was 204 Black women with a recent suicide attempt. Significant total indirect effects in all mediation models using bootstrapping indicated that reasons for living mediated the association between each Africultural coping dimension (spiritual-centered, ritual-centered, collective, cognitive and emotional debrief) and suicide resilience. Findings reveal that reliance on Africultural coping strategies is associated with more reasons for living, which increases suicidal Black women's capacity to cope with their suicidal thoughts without engaging in suicidal behaviors (i.e., suicide resilience). This highlights the value of culturally responsive interventions that capitalize on Africultural coping and bolster Black women's reasons for living. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
