Mental health awareness has gained increasing global attention due to its significant impact on workplace productivity. However, research on the role of mental health awareness in vocational training graduates remains limited, particularly in Indonesia. This study investigates the relationship between mental health awareness and work productivity among graduates of BLK Komunitas Al Hikmah Pandeglang. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through a survey questionnaire distributed to 112 respondents. Statistical analysis, including t-tests and correlation analysis, was conducted using JAMOVI software. The results indicate a strong positive correlation (r = 0.873, p < 0.001) between mental health awareness and work productivity, suggesting that higher awareness contributes to improved performance. However, t-test analysis found no significant differences in mental health awareness between male and female graduates (p = 0.604). These findings highlight the importance of integrating mental health education into vocational training programs to enhance graduates’ productivity. Despite these insights, limitations such as self-reported data and the inability to establish causation suggest the need for further longitudinal and experimental research. Strengthening mental health policies within vocational education and workplaces remains crucial for fostering a resilient workforce.
