Effectiveness Of Implementing The Examplary Wives School Program In An Effort To Increase Family Resilience
Main Article Content
Abstract
The family serves as the primary platform for individual growth and development, influencing the quality of human resources and, consequently, a nation's progress. Modern societal changes have led to shifts in familial roles, functions, communication patterns, and parenting approaches, contributing to prevalent issues such as communication breakdowns, economic challenges, differing opinions, role adjustments, and parenting conflicts. These problems often culminate in divorce, domestic violence, teenage delinquency, sexual violence, and substance abuse.
Indonesia, reflecting global trends, faces an escalating rate of divorces, with 516,344 cases reported in 2022. The country also witnesses a surge in domestic violence cases, attributed to economic factors, child marriage, and legal awareness. In response to these challenges, the Sawahlunto City government initiated the Exemplary Wife School (SILO) program in 2021, designed to enhance family resilience. The program aims to address diverse issues through a comprehensive curriculum covering topics like family financial management, child development, and balanced nutrition.
Results indicate positive impacts on the city's targets, such as a decline in cases of violence against children and women, a reduction in divorce rates, and improvements in human development and gender development indices. However, challenges persist, particularly in managing family finances and guiding children's use of technology. The study underscores the importance of ongoing program refinement, encouraging male participation, and addressing specific indicators for comprehensive family resilience.
In conclusion, the Sawahlunto City Exemplary Wife School Program demonstrates promise in enhancing family resilience. While positive outcomes are evident, continuous efforts are required to optimize the program's effectiveness and address specific family dynamics, thereby contributing to the broader goal of building resilient families in the community.
