Abstract
Papuan students who are pursuing higher education in Yogyakarta face psychosocial challenges during their adaptation process. This including: emotional regulation, clarity of life direction and the interpretation of self-identity within a new environment. These conditions impact their mental health, academic motivation, and ability to build supportive social relationships. This study aims to understand how the mental support process which developed through a companionship-based approach by Noken Solutions. This efforts contributes to fostering psychosocial resilience among Papuan students by strengthening their understanding of identity and self-concept. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, utilizing data from reports and records of mental support sessions conducted leading up to the Papua Design Week in Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed interpretatively through psychosocial resilience and psychoanalytic theory to examine the dynamics of the students' subjective experiences. The findings indicate that mental support grounded in empathetic, egalitarian relationships plays a crucial role in establishing psychological safety, facilitating identity reflection, and reconstructing the students' self-concepts in a more positive light. This process enables students to develop psychosocial resilience that reflective and oriented toward self-meaning and life goals. The study underscores that psychosocial resilience among Papuan students is cultivated through a contextual and sustained relational support process, with identity and self-concept serving as the primary foundation.
