The study population consisted of all female secondary school students in Al-Kharj Governorate, totaling 10,981 students distributed across 79 girls’ secondary schools. Results Results showed a high level of family support (mean 4.48) but only a medium level of psychological immunity (mean 3.23) among students. There was no correlation between family support and psychological immunity. Conclusion Educational level and marital status of parents did not significantly affect family support levels. Similarly, academic achievement did not significantly impact psychological immunity.
