A total of four families have been assessed by social workers to find out their needs.

This service is provided for children in families who experience an emergency. The services that will be provided are adjusted to the results of the assessment so that they are effective," explained the Head of Sub-Section for Social Rehabilitation Services, Raharjo.

 

The results of the assessment will be followed up by social workers in intervening, it is known that three of the four families have not received assistance from the Family Hope Program (PKH) and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT).

 

In addition to accessing other Ministry of Social Affairs programs, social workers will also provide psychosocial support for children. "Psychosocial support is carried out to reduce the child's sense of trauma from the fires they have experienced," said Social Worker, Erna.
