Therefore, this community service initiative aims to provide psychosocial support through trauma healing activities to aid in the emotional recovery of children affected by the flood. Through these activities, we aim to help children regain their confidence through improved communication skills and foster emotional understanding through story characters. The implementation of this activity utilized a combination of methods, such as storytelling, guided play, and expressive activities through coloring, designed for flood-affected children and to enhance emotional regulation among Posyandu cadres and parents in the Aceh Tamiang regency, specifically in Tanjung Necara Village. Based on the evaluation results, child participation exceeded 70 participants, surpassing the initial target of 40. Direct observations of children’s and community engagement indicated the program’s success. Children demonstrated increased self-confidence, while Posyandu cadres strengthened social support. Consequently, partner skills improved by approximately 75% compared to pre-program levels.]]>
