SUKABUMI (July 18, 2021) - The Director General of
Social Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Harry Hikmat, reviewed
the readiness of the Social Rehabilitation Center “Phala Martha” Sukabumi for
ATENSI Creation Center. This is done to follow up on the direction of
the Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini, so that every center within the
Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation in particular and the Ministry of
Social Affairs in general can prepare centers for community empowerment,
including the beneficiaries.
Harry said that “Phala
Martha” had services for beneficiaries with mental disabilities (PDM) or people
with mental disorders (ODGJ). "However, according to the direction of the
Minister of Social Affairs, the Centr must carry out multi-function services,
in the sense that the target beneficiaries have various characteristics, so
that the response to the Social Welfare Service Recipients (PPKS), people who
need assistance, case response, assistance, and other social services, it can
immediately do it,” added Harry.
Therefore, the presence
of the ATENSI Creation Center (SKA) can become a forum with the beneficiaries
of the various types of PPKS, such as Ex ODGJ, homeless beggars, the elderly, people
with disabilities, victims of drug abuse, Persons with Social Deviance Issues
and Trafficking in Persons (KPO) and includes beneficiaries who have been
handled through the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT),
and Cash Social Assistance (BST). With the existence of SKA, all of these
targets can be utilized with various characteristics.
In this context, the
Human Resources (HR) in the Center must really be able to prepare themselves as
well as possible. Improving abilities, insights, including skills to respond to
these various problems.
Harry also hopes that “Phala
Martha” can improve the quality of services, because later it will not only be
handled by ODGJ but there will be other targets served by the Center.
"This is of course a
challenge for the Center to implement new policies or initiatives from the
Minister of Social Affairs, that the Center will become a social service center
that carries out integrated services," he added.
