<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the forms of resilience among juvenile inmates from broken home families at the Class I Special Child Development Institution (LPKA) in Kutoarjo, Indonesia. These children face layered adversity: family dysfunction before entering the institution and the pressure of adapting to institutional life. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in Grotberg's resilience theory, which identifies three sources of resilience: I Have, I Am, and I Can. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews with juvenile inmates and LPKA officers, and document study. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman with the assistance of NVivo. The findings show that resilience is formed through the interaction of the three dimensions. I Have consists of family support, family communication and presence, support from officers and supervisors, counselling and development programs, and peer support. I Am consists of self-acceptance, self-esteem, changes in self-concept, empathy, self-responsibility, self-control, optimism, and spirituality. I Can consists of problem management, emotion management, communication, help seeking, adaptation, and future planning. Broken home status therefore does not automatically remove a child's capacity to be resilient, as long as support, opportunities for self-development, and a supportive rehabilitation environment are available. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining family contact, strengthening officer-child relationships, and expanding access to continuous counselling.]]>
