Abstract

Community empowerment programmes for disaster-affected villages in Indonesia are largely standardised, built around physical reconstruction, livelihood restoration, and infrastructure delivery. They rarely account for the psychological consequences of disaster, despite the fact that these consequences shape whether communities can participate in recovery at all. This study addresses that gap by adapting the trauma-informed care framework, developed in mental health and human services, into the design of post-disaster community empowerment policy. Using a phenomenological case study of three disaster-affected villages in Bengkulu Province, the research combines in-depth phenomenological interviews with survivors and local leaders, focus group discussions, observation of recovery activities, and review of programme documents. Analysis proceeds in two layers: a phenomenological reading of survivors’ lived experience of recovery programmes, and an evaluation of conventional programmes against a purpose-built trauma-informed empowerment evaluation matrix integrating psychosocial wellbeing indicators with community development indicators. The findings identify six themes constituting the essence of the survivor experience, chief among them a persistent mismatch between programme timetables and recovery timelines. Conventional programmes score adequately on delivery indicators but poorly on safety, predictability, choice, and cultural fit, and in several documented instances reproduced distress through their own procedures. The study proposes a Trauma-Informed Community Empowerment model specifying four sequenced phases, six design principles adapted from trauma-informed care, and an accompanying indicator set, together with practical guidance for village governments and district disaster agencies.

Abstract

Returned Indonesian migrant workers who have experienced labor exploitation may face overlapping psychosocial, economic, and family reintegration challenges. This article examines an eleven-month community service partnership between Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu and PCIM Hong Kong that linked pre-return identification and accompaniment in Hong Kong with post-return assistance in Bengkulu Province. The participatory, strengths-based program enrolled 45 returned workers (40 women and five men) and involved 12 family members in a family reintegration track. Implementation combined trauma-informed group psychosocial support, financial literacy education, participatory micro-business planning, and peer-support group formation. Program monitoring drew on pre- and post-intervention self-report assessments, observations, focus group discussions, and interviews. All 45 workers completed the psychosocial and financial literacy modules. Participants developed 28 individual or group micro-business plans, 19 of which had become operational by November 2025 (67.9% of plans). Three peer-support groups were established in Bengkulu City, Seluma, and Central Bengkulu. The final report describes improvements in self-reported wellbeing, self-efficacy, household financial planning, and family communication, although numerical baseline and follow-up scores were not available for independent effect-size estimation. Participants with more severe exploitation histories showed more limited perceived psychosocial improvement. The program illustrates the practical value of a cross-border referral-to-reintegration pathway combining diaspora access and origin-country facilitation. Future implementation should strengthen severity-sensitive psychosocial referrals, longer-term outcome monitoring, and access to business finance.
