Limited access to psychological education leaves the Jorong Bateh Gadang community struggling to manage everyday stress. This service activity used participatory group guidance, combined with counseling and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), to improve 13 residents’ understanding and skills in managing stress. Conducted in July 2026 using a descriptive qualitative approach, the activity raised participants’ understanding of stress management from 40% to 80%, with 70% active participation, and produced a reusable stress management module. The findings confirm that participatory group guidance is more effective than one-way psychoeducation in strengthening community mental health literacy.
