<![CDATA[ABSTRACT A conducive school environment is essential for students’ development; however, bullying cases still frequently occur and negatively affect students’ psychological well-being, particularly their ability to cope with pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) counseling in improving the resilience of bullying victims among eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Mataram in the 2022/2023 academic year. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population consisted of 108 students, while the sample included 10 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires as the primary instrument, supported by observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using the t-test. The results showed that the t-calculated value was 9.922, which was higher than the t-table value of 2.262 at a 5% significance level with 9 degrees of freedom (9.922 > 2.262). Therefore, it can be concluded that Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) counseling has a significant effect on improving the resilience of students who are victims of bullying in grade VIII at SMPN 5 Mataram for the 2022/2023 academic year.
