<![CDATA[Adolescents face various physical, psychological, and social pressures that may affect mental health. Self-compassion is an effective approach to improve adolescents’ mental well-being. This community service program aimed to enhance understanding and skills of self-compassion through interactive workshops and practical exercises for 25–30 adolescents aged 13–17 years. The program was conducted over three days, including introduction sessions, mindfulness exercises, positive affirmations, self-reflection, and discussion and sharing sessions. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-program questionnaires, direct observation, and daily reflections. Results indicated an increase in the average questionnaire score from 22 to 34 (54%), active participation in exercises, and improved emotional management. Participants’ reflections also showed the formation of positive habits supporting mental well-being. This program demonstrates that participatory and interactive self-compassion exercises are effective in building emotional resilience and positive behaviors among adolescents.]]>
