The Family Planning (FP) program is a strategic governmental effort to control population growth and improve reproductive health. FP counseling plays a crucial role in increasing public knowledge regarding the benefits, types, and proper use of contraceptives. This counseling activity was conducted at Langsat Public Health Center in Pekanbaru, targeting housewives and couples of reproductive age. The methods used included lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions supported by presentation media. The results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of FP objectives, contraceptive types, and the health benefits for mothers and children. Additionally, there was an increased interest in becoming FP acceptors following the counseling session. This activity demonstrates that health education effectively enhances reproductive literacy and encourages healthier behavioral practices.
