Abstract: This study aims to look at the effects of Adventure Based Counselling (ABC) against the resilient (RES) and resilient subconstructs which are optimistic (RES-OPT), self-control (RES-KAD) and facing challenges (RES-CAB) among young trainees at the National Service Training Programme (NS). A total of 60 (N = 60) National service trainees are involved in this quasi-experimental study. They were divided into 2 groups of treatment group and control group. ABC is operated by the 6 facilitators (3 counsellors and 3 NS trainers). Data were collected by self-report through Resilience Scale Instrument (RES) and were analysed with mean difference, T-test, ANCOVA and MANCOVA at a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that ABC has increased the resilience among the subjects of NS trainees. It is suggested that the ABC approach to be used as an alternative counselling treatment in improving the level of resilience among young National Service trainees.
