Furthermore, they will receive social rehabilitation services at the Baturraden “Satria” Resident Center.

 

The social counselor for Baturraden “Satria” Resident Center, Darmo, expressed his gratitude for the cooperation that has been carried out. "This is the first step of synergy in providing social rehabilitation services. And of course, this collaboration does not stop here," said Darmo.

 

Sub-Coordinator of the Head of Rehabilitation Section for BNNK Temanggung, Djoko Sulistyono, conveyed the same thing. "If a similar case is found and requires rehabilitation services, we will contact the Baturraden “Satria” Resident Center," said Djoko.
