Abstract

Family resilience is an aspect that can improve well-being and attachment between family members. Of course, every family cannot be separated from conflict, and how to resolve conflict is important so that there is no family division. One way to strengthen family resilience is through counseling. To support this, the Surabaya city government developed PUSPAGA (Family Learning Center) as a form of policy to provide free counseling services for Surabaya residents. However, until now, the effectiveness of this service program has not been examined further. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of the counseling service program provided at PUSPAGA. The research used a qualitative case study design with observation and interview data collection techniques. Interview data were collected from three clients and one officer at PUSPAGA. Data were analyzed using data triangulation through observation, interviews, and literature review. The results found that the counseling provided at PUSPAGA was considered satisfactory by clients and was able to support family resilience in dealing with conflict. This research is expected to provide a more in-depth picture of the importance of conflict in family resilience, especially in the services provided by PUSPAGA.

Abstract

Child marriage remains a pressing issue in Indonesia, particularly in traditional communities such as Tuban Regency, East Java. This study explores the role of PUSPAGA (Family Learning Center) as a government initiative in reducing the incidence of child marriage through premarital counseling for marriage dispensation applicants. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation at the Department of Social Affairs, Women’s Empowerment, and Child Protection in Tuban. Findings reveal that most applicants are aged 15–18 and have low educational backgrounds, with economic hardship, premarital pregnancy, and cultural norms being the main drivers of early marriage. PUSPAGA plays a crucial role in assessing the readiness of prospective underage couples and educating families about the psychological, social, and legal consequences of early marriage. The counseling process also serves as a social intervention that challenges patriarchal values and strengthens family resilience. The study underscores the importance of preventive psychosocial services in protecting children’s rights and promoting gender-sensitive development.
