Abstract

The landslide disaster that occurred in January 2025 in Batang Regency, Central Java, had multidimensional impacts, encompassing physical, social, and psychological losses. Initial assessments indicated that many survivors experienced difficulty sleeping, anxiety, profound sadness, and loss of motivation, indicating post-disaster mental health disorders. If left untreated, these conditions can reduce the quality of life and hinder the psychosocial recovery process of affected communities.
