Resilience of Underprivileged Children in Kedamin Village, Kapuas Hulu
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to identify the causal relationship between protective factors in the form of family, school, and village program support and child resilience in Kedamin Hulu Village, Kapuas Hulu. The study uses a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design involving 10 children aged 8–14 years from underprivileged families, through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results show three patterns of resilience: high (5 children), moderate (3 children), and low (2 children). High resilience is associated with emotional affirmation from parents, support from siblings, and active participation in study groups and PKK/posyandu activities that increase school attendance. Conversely, low resilience is influenced by physical violence, social isolation, and household workloads. The findings confirm that children's resilience in border areas is shaped by the local social ecology, making community-based guidance and counseling services relevant for strengthening children's mental health.
