Depok (February 24,
2023) - Master School in Depok City, West Java, has a different atmosphere
today. It can be seen that the students, who were dominated by elementary
school-level students, enthusiastically participated in social counseling
activities in one corner of the school. The counseling activity, which was held
for the first time at Master School, was initiated by the Ministry of Social
Affairs in collaboration with Srikandi Policewomen Ditreskrimum Polda Metro
Jaya.
The activity entitled
Psychosocial Support Services (LDP) was attended by 100 students. They were
given various kinds of training, such as prevention of bullying and sexual
violence against children, disaster preparedness in the school environment, and
playing together by LDP instructors from PSKBSNA Directorate of the Ministry of
Social Affairs.
Coordinator of Social
Recovery and Reintegration of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Rosehan Ansyari,
revealed that this social counseling activity aims to prevent child delinquency
in the school environment. Moreover, many of Master school students are former
street children, buskers, and scavengers.
"Yes, we are
collaborating with Policewomen from Polda Metro Jaya to provide social
counseling in this Master school environment. We provide counseling on
preventing acts of sexual violence in children, then there is also bullying
prevention, there is also material on disaster preparedness, and so on
"The goal is these students know what can and cannot be done," said
Rosehan Ansyari.
Apart from being given
counseling, the students were also distributed some aids such as school
bags, books, stationery, and groceries. Muhammad Rijal, a Grade 4 Master School
student, said he was happy with this activity at his school.
"As long as I study
here, this is the first time there is an activity like this. We are invited to
play, get materials, and get a school bag too. I am happy and hopefully, there will
be more later" said Rijal.
