Abstract

People with mental disorders (ODGJ) often face significant stigma and limited access to economic opportunities, hindering their journey toward independence. This community-based research introduces a novel entrepreneurial model: marketing mushroom home kits explicitly designed for ODGJ. The initiative combines therapy with practical skill development by enabling participants to cultivate oyster mushrooms at home using simple tools and guided instructions. Through participatory methods, including training, mentoring, and family involvement, the project demonstrates positive psychological impacts such as improved confidence and sense of responsibility alongside tangible economic benefits. Results indicate strong market potential for mushroom-based products and enthusiastic reception from families and local communities. Despite challenges like limited technical understanding and digital access, the program shows promise in reducing social stigma and fostering sustainable micro-businesses. This study highlights the value of inclusive, low-cost entrepreneurship models that integrate mental health rehabilitation with income-generating activities, offering a replicable framework for empowering vulnerable groups.

Abstract

The Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) initiative, launched under the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet, aims to tackle food insecurity and malnutrition in Indonesia by providing free nutritious meals to underserved populations. This study evaluates the impact of the MBG program on both physical health and psychological well-being, focusing on how access to free, balanced meals influences the health and mental health outcomes of beneficiaries. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining qualitative interviews with stakeholders, quantitative health data, and psychological assessments of MBG recipients. The results indicate significant improvements in physical health, including reductions in malnutrition rates, stunting, and underweight, particularly among children. Furthermore, the study finds that MBG positively impacts psychological well-being by reducing anxiety, alleviating stress related to food insecurity, and enhancing self-esteem. Participants reported feeling more secure and less stressed about their daily nutrition, which translated into improved mood and cognitive function. However, logistical challenges, such as distribution delays and quality control, remain obstacles to the program’s widespread effectiveness. The study also underscores the importance of integrating psychological support services with nutritional assistance to maximize the program’s holistic impact. Overall, the MBG initiative has proven to be a promising model for improving both physical health and mental well-being, providing insights for other nations grappling with food insecurity and malnutrition.
