activity include Widyaiswara (trainer), Learning Technology Designer,

consisting of social workers and social officers. Participants were given a material introduction to the function, form, and importance of LDP for the
elderly.
The material can be directly applied by the nursing staff, after
receiving the material, the staff members are invited to practice LDP,
including empty chair therapy to the elderly, and the residents of Tresna Werdha
Center.
