This study aims to describe the implementation of the Family Learning Center (PUSPAGA) program in Samaan Urban Village, Malang City, as an effort to build family resilience in an urban setting. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach utilizing observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and documentation. The findings indicate that PUSPAGA plays a vital role in raising public awareness regarding positive parenting, family communication, and the prevention of domestic violence through counseling services, outreach activities, and psychoeducation. The use of social media and a community-based approach further supports the program's effectiveness. However, implementation still faces challenges, such as low participation among some community members and the stigma associated with family counseling services. Therefore, strengthened collaboration and more optimal outreach strategies are required to ensure the program's sustainability.
