Abstract
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that has a significant psychological, emotional, and finansial impact on families psychologically, emotionally, and financially. Families face prolonged stress, role changes, social stigma, and limited access to mental health services. Therefore, family resilience is essential to meet these challenges. Based on a systematic review study from the past five years resilience is influenced by internal (communication, emotional support, expectations) and external factors (social support, education, role of health workers). Family-based interventions such as psychoeducation, stress management, and peer group support have been shown to strengthen family resilience. Strong resilience improves family mental health and the quality of life of sufferers. Collaboration between families, health workers, and the community is needed to strengthen comprehensive support.
