Abstract

Family is the main pillar of mental health’. It is undeniable that various mental health problems originate from family factors, such as depression, suicidal ideation, and personality disorders. We found that there was a poor quality of relationships between parents and children that triggered prolonged psychological conflict. So, the need for psychoeducation on the role of parents in child development among marginalised communities emerged. The purpose of this service is to increase awareness of the importance of the quality of parenting psychologically in marginalized families in Semarang City. The method of service carried out is psychoeducation and support groups. The participants of this service were 34 people. The implementation of the service was divided into two. First, parenting psychoeducation. The second activity was a support group on the role and importance of the quality of the relationship between parents and children. Case cards were used during the discussion in the group, this instrument helped the discussion without removing the opportunity to convey their experiences in the family authentically. The evaluation was done qualitatively. From this activity, it was found that there was a transfer of learning in simple knowledge and skills, while beliefs were difficult to change, such as that children should be physically punished when parents are angry. This is a finding that can be explored further in research or work with families.

Abstract

The Argorejo karaoke district has become a popular destination for night-time leisure activities in Semarang. A study was conducted in collaboration with the Argorejo Karaoke Association (PAKAR). It was determined that specific programmes, including those utilising psychological principles, is necessary. The challenges experienced by these individuals frequently pertain to a lack of support from their social networks, profound emotional distress, and an inability to effectively cope with adversity. The psychoeducation approach was employed in a study involving 49 females who were employed as lady companions. Initially, the participants were provided with psychosocial support material. Secondly, focus groups were convened and facilitated using "we-ness" cards. The quantitative findings demonstrated that the mean score for the perception of social support received by individuals increased. Participants are able to recognise emotions and comprehend when they require different types of support from others, which was a qualitative finding. Participants develop an understanding of their own needs and provide psychological support to others for ensuring optimal well-being in the long term. Further research is required to ascertain the efficacy of the "we-ness" card in a range of community service contexts, particularly those most in need, it is imperative that diverse groups collaborate.
