Family resilience and family support are important factors in studying the individual resilience of an adolescent because the family is considered to be the most influential unit and plays a big role in the overall development of the individual (Brown, 1999 : Bronfenbrenner, 1994). With this, the researchers aim to find out if perceived family resilience and family support are significant predictors of individual resilience. In order to accomplish this, online surveys were sent out to students of a private university in Manila. A total of 256 students participated in the study. A multiple regression analysis was used to study the data and it was discovered that together, family resilience and family support is a significant predictor of individual resilience. However, when the variables are studied separately, it was found that family resilience is the only variable that is a significant predictor for individual resilience while family support is not significant.
