<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Kesehatan mental dan emosional anak merupakan aspek penting dalam perkembangan yang optimal. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) digunakan sebagai instrumen screening untuk mengidentifikasi masalah emosional dan perilaku anak secara dini. Media film, khususnya film edukatif, memiliki potensi besar sebagai sarana pembelajaran emosi yang menarik dan mudah dipahami anak-anak. Artikel ini membahas implementasi program Edukasi Emosi Berbasis Film Inside Out yang disesuaikan dengan hasil screening SDQ dalam kegiatan pemberdayaan Mitra Orda Pemda Kota Cimahi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan mixed methods sederhana, dimulai dengan screening SDQ terhadap 87 siswa Sekolah Rakyat Merdeka Pelajar 8, dilanjutkan dengan pemutaran film, diskusi interaktif, permainan ekspresi emosi, dan refleksi bersama. Hasil screening menunjukkan bahwa 47% siswa mengalami masalah emosional, lebih dari 53% menghadapi kesulitan perilaku, serta 23% mengalami hambatan dalam hubungan dengan teman sebaya. Setelah mengikuti program, anak-anak tampak lebih mampu menyebutkan emosi dasar, berani mengekspresikan perasaan, serta lebih terbuka kepada guru maupun teman. Guru juga menilai adanya perubahan positif dalam keterbukaan emosional siswa. Program ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis film dapat meningkatkan literasi emosi dasar anak, meskipun terbatas pada efek jangka pendek. Diperlukan keberlanjutan program dengan melibatkan guru, orang tua, serta dukungan lembaga terkait agar intervensi lebih berdampak jangka panjang. Kata Kunci : Film edukatif, SDQ, Literasi emosi, pemberdayaan. ABSTRACT Children’s mental and emotional health is a crucial aspect of optimal development. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is used as a screening instrument to identify children’s emotional and behavioral problems at an early stage. Film media, particularly educational films, holds great potential as an engaging and accessible tool for children’s emotional learning. This article discusses the implementation of the Inside Out Film-Based Emotional Education Program, which was adapted to the results of the SDQ screening within the empowerment program of Mitra Orda Pemda Kota Cimahi activities. The study employed a simple mixed-methods approach, beginning with SDQ screening of 87 students from Sekolah Rakyat Merdeka Pelajar 8, followed by film screening, interactive discussions, emotional expression games, and collective reflections. The screening results indicated that 47% of students experienced emotional problems, more than 53% faced behavioral difficulties, and 23% encountered challenges in peer relationships. After participating in the program, children appeared more capable of identifying basic emotions, expressing their feelings confidently, and being more open with teachers and peers. Teachers also reported positive changes in students’ emotional openness. This program demonstrates that a film-based approach can enhance children’s basic emotional literacy, although its impact remains limited to the short term. Program continuity involving teachers, parents, and institutional support is required to achieve longer-term effects.
