The results showed that after completing the intervention, the sample had a score on overall resilience factors that was high (Mean = 84.55, SD = 10.00), which was significantly higher than before the intervention (p < .05). The findings revealed that this resilience development program is highly significant for caring for early adolescents living in children's homes.
