Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of mental health assistance through HERO training (focusing on hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism) in improving the psychological well-being of parents of Indonesia immigrants in Malaysia who are vulnerable to declining psychological wellbeing. Using a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design in a large group, this training was carried out for one week with 2 sessions per meeting lasting 60-120 minutes. The material was delivered using the concept of experiential learning through lecturing, audio-visual, written assignments, discussions, games, and reflection. The participants were parents of students aged 30-50 years old from Sanggar Bimbingan Kampung Baru Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Psychological well-being is measured using The Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-being. Analysis of quantitative data showed significant differences between before and after training, proving that the level of psychological well-being improved after HERO training was administered.
