The objective of this study is to identify the influence of family resilience in the face of risk behaviors of adolescents, “El Blanco” Community. The methodological process was descriptive-analytical based on a quantitative approach, the survey technique was applied to a population of 100 adolescents, the president of the sector, 6 neighborhood leaders and 50 randomly chosen parents. It was found that, in the community, there is a high level of family resilience in the face of risk behaviors in which adolescents are involved, since they have capacities to resist and overcome the problems that have arisen, in addition to adapting to crisis situations.
