The effectiveness of intervention was evaluated by using a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttes and follow-up analysis. Analysis of this study consisted of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis using parametric analysis of Anova Repeated Measures to determine differences in resilience to experimental group and control group after the subjects are given therapy. The qualitative analysis was done based on observations and interviews. The result of research showed there were differences in resilience between experimental group and control group after the therapy given, with value of p = 0.019 (p<0.05) when pretest-posttest and p = 0.013 (p<0.05) when pretest-follow up. The conclusion of this study was support group therapy can enhance resilience of adolescents in prisons.
