TePAK in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic uses Whatsapp group media with customized voice messages and powerpoint media. The activity was attended by 51 people consisting of beneficiary families and the general public.
In the first session, the material began with an introduction to family parenting patterns and the impact of these parenting patterns.
