So that an action is needed to increase public knowledge through health promotion activities. This health promotion is carried out by implementing community empowerment strategies through cadres. Objective: This community service activity aims to determine the effect of providing health promotion on stunting to health cadres. Methods: The data collection method in this study used pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The counseling method used is lecture, discussion and audiovisual where this audiovisual is in the form of a video containing material on stunting prevention. The number of respondents in this study were 20 people. Results: The results of the assessment showed that there was a difference in scores on the pre-test and post-test, namely the average score on the pretest was 8.2, while the score on the posttest showed that the average respondent was 9.55, there was an increase in value by 80%. Conclusion: Based on the counseling that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the knowledge and awareness of cadres about stunting has increased.
