<![CDATA[Bullying behavior remains a serious issue in schools as it can lead to various long-term negative impacts on students’ psychological and social well-being. This community service program aims to enhance students’ understanding of self-control and emotional maturity in addressing bullying through group counseling for 11th-grade social science students at SMAN 1 Surakarta. The study employed a pretest–posttest design with a four-session group counseling intervention. The analysis showed a significant improvement in the mean score from 55.5 to 75.2, supported by a statistically significant result (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that group counseling is effective in improving students’ self-control and emotional maturity related to bullying management in schools. This program can be sustainably implemented to support the handling of students’ social-emotional problems at SMAN 1 Surakarta.]]>
