The aspiring middle-class refers to a social class that is not yet a middle-class but will eventually achieve the middle-class status. How do the aspiring middle-class families bounce back from the crisis and become strong and healthy families and it could contribute to comprehending the commonly described social unit that is labeled for its vulnerabilities to any major shocks. This is a mixed-method study with a quantitative approach and enriched with qualitative data.

Furthermore, themes found are family belief system, family organizational pattern, problem-solving communication, health protocol adherence, and family economic condition. The study concluded that multidimensional factors enable the development process of family resilience. Governmental programs for developing family well-being and resilience can take advantage of this research, especially about the multidimensional factors that will be a noteworthy entry point for the intervention of family program enhancement.
