<![CDATA[Rapid social change has posed significant challenges to families' psychosocial resilience, particularly for homemakers, the household's main pillar. Weak stress management and family communication skills are priority issues. This community service activity aims to strengthen family psychosocial resilience by empowering homemakers with a community-based, participatory approach. The program was implemented at two locations in Greater Malang, involving 80 homemakers purposively selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention was carried out through two main meetings: interactive counseling and field training on stress management techniques, assertive communication, the formation of mutual support groups, and the development of family-based follow-up plans. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-test questionnaires, observations, and semi-structured interviews. The results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding and skills related to stress management and family communication. This activity demonstrated the effectiveness of the community approach in sustainably improving homemakers' psychosocial capacity. Consequently, this intervention model can be replicated in similar empowerment programs at the local and national levels to strengthen family resilience amidst evolving social dynamics.]]>
