Abstract

Various adolescent behavioral symptoms have featured prominently in the community; some of these behaviors are even criminal. Not only teenagers, but children are also exposed and have become perpetrators of criminal acts. The community itself has been anxious facing these symptoms. So far the biggest concern, which is also the center of attention of many people, is the acts of violence committed young children; this is already a serious situation that needs to be addressed immediately. Another more worrying thing is the age of the perpetrators of criminal acts are increasingly younger. Consequently, efforts need to be undertaken to overcome this. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of peer counselors and a pilot program implementation for Posyandu teenagers in the District of the Kraton, including the planning and implementation of health promotion programs by the Kraton psychologists in the primary healthcare setting aimed at assisting offenders and victims in cases involving children and teenagers in the field. This study used a qualitative approach with case analysis method and compared the changes for patients that occurred after the program compared to the baseline, as well as chronicling the researcher’s field experience. Planning efforts for PKPR with the peer counselor program is still in progress and advocacy efforts have been completed. Suggestions from this research program include: maximizing maintaining peer counselors, and pilot programs in the area of juvenile Posyandu shared across sectors and effective programs of peer counselors and the presence of posyandu adolescents are indeed instrumental in improving the mental health of children and adolescents. Such programs are still scarce in Indonesia, which prompts the researchers to propose a number of possible interventions to be considered as one way to save the future generations.
