<![CDATA[Stress is a common mental health issue experienced by rural communities due to economic pressures, workload, and social dynamics. Limited knowledge and coping skills make individuals more vulnerable to psychological problems. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to empower the community through education and relaxation technique training as a strategy to prevent stress. The methods included health education, demonstration of deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation techniques, and guided independent practice. The results showed an 85% increase in participants’ knowledge and a 78% improvement in relaxation skills.

In conclusion, community empowerment through relaxation training is effective in supporting community-based stress prevention.]]>
