<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Family fragmentation dynamics often require adolescents to redefine their psychological orientation amid the transition toward independence. Although parental separation triggers emotional disruption, adaptive capacity can still grow through the support of internal and external resources. This study aims to analyze the relationship between forgiveness and resilience among adolescents from broken home families in North Sulawesi. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational design, this research involved 187 participants aged 13–18 years recruited through purposive sampling. The measuring instruments applied included the Heartland Forgiveness Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Hypothesis testing was performed using Spearman Rank Order correlation because the data distribution violated the normality assumption. Empirical findings confirm a significant positive correlation at a moderate level (r_s = 0.444, p < 0.001), indicating that a higher capacity for forgiveness aligns with the reinforcement of adolescent mental endurance. Consequently, forgiveness deserves to be positioned as a relevant psychological modality in assisting adolescent survivors of divorce, while simultaneously enriching a multidimensional understanding of their adaptation process amidst a local socio-religious climate. ABSTRAK Dinamika keretakan keluarga kerap menuntut remaja mendefinisikan ulang orientasi psikologisnya di tengah transisi kemandirian. Kendati perpisahan orang tua memicu disrupsi emosional, kapasitas adaptasi tetap dapat bertumbuh melalui dukungan sumber daya internal maupun eksternal. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara forgiveness dan resiliensi pada remaja dari keluarga broken home di Sulawesi Utara. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berdesain korelasional, riset melibatkan 187 partisipan berusia 13–18 tahun yang direkrut melalui teknik purposive sampling. Perangkat ukur yang diaplikasikan mencakup Heartland Forgiveness Scale dan Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Pengujian hipotesis dijalankan melalui teknik korelasi Spearman Rank Order karena sebaran data melanggar asumsi normalitas. Temuan empiris mengonfirmasi keberadaan korelasi positif yang signifikan pada tingkat sedang (r_s = 0,444, p < 0,001), yang mengindikasikan bahwa kapasitas pemaafan yang lebih tinggi beriringan dengan penguatan daya tahan mental remaja. Dengan demikian, forgiveness layak diposisikan sebagai salah satu modalitas psikologis yang relevan dalam mendampingi remaja penyintas perceraian, sekaligus memperkaya pemahaman multidimensional mengenai proses adaptasi mereka di tengah iklim sosial-religius lokal.]]>
