The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of group guidance based on Javanese character to improve student resilience. This type of research was a quantitative research with one group Pre-test-Post-test design. The data collection technique was in the form of a resilience scale. The research subjects were 7 students who were taken randomly. The data analysis technique used non-parametric statistics with the Wilcoxon technique. The result of the Wilcoxon test showed the value of Z = -2,371 with asymp sid (2-tailed) 0.018. It's means that there was a significant difference of student resilience level between Pre-test and Post-test. So this means that there was significant difference between before and after the application of group guidance. For further research can be done by develop a group guidance guide or the other experimental research design.
