    Abstract

    Adolescence is a crucial transitional period leading into adulthood. Adolescents, especially those in vulnerable socioeconomic circumstances, tend to experience challenges related to self-regulation. A program focused on strengthening self-regulation and future planning was implemented to improve discipline and motivation to learn among adolescent beneficiaries at the Wira Adhi Karya Social Service Center. These activities aim to help participants recognize their potential, develop plans, and manage their emotions more adaptively. The methods used include psychoeducation, interactive discussions, educational games, and reflection sessions involving 20 participants. The program was implemented through two main activities: PATHFINDER: Discovering Direction and Designing the Future, and Emotion Smart: Recognize–Control–Express. The program’s effectiveness was evaluated through post-activity interviews to assess participants’ understanding. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of how to recognize their own potential, set future goals, and understand emotion management strategies. The program proved effective in increasing participants’ active engagement in self-regulation and motivation, as well as providing practical insights into self-regulation. However, ongoing support remains necessary to ensure participants can consistently apply these skills in their daily lives.

    Abstract

    The increasing elderly population demands serious attention to psychological well-being, particularly in communities with limited social support. Observations in Sempulur Village indicate that many elderly people live alone, have limited social activities, and receive minimal psychological stimulation. This community service program aims to improve the psychological well-being of elderly people through a psychoeducational program based on self-reflection and social interaction. The implementation method involves several stages: needs analysis, program design, activity implementation, and evaluation. The program is implemented through participatory group activities that include healthy elderly exercise, reflection on life experiences (reminiscence), and art therapy to stimulate aspects of self- acceptance, autonomy, and purpose in life. A total of 15 elderly people (1 man and 14 women) participated in a series of programs that were evaluated through a psychological well-being survey and participatory observation. Results showed increased social participation, active involvement in group activities, and increased self-expression and a sense of meaning in life. Furthermore, this program also had a positive impact by providing a forum for psychosocial activities that can be utilized sustainably by the village community. Thus, this program contributes to improving the psychological well-being of elderly people in a community-based manner.
