Abstract

Mental health issues are one of the leading causes of health-related disabilities among children and adolescents worldwide. The prevalence of mental health disorders has been reported to increase during adolescence. The objective of this community service activity is to provide health education on mental health and how to address it for adolescents. The methods used in this community service activity consist of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The activity provided to adolescents is in the form of health education. The evaluation of the activity was conducted using a pretest-posttest of knowledge about mental health. The results of this activity show that the level of knowledge among adolescents before the activity was in the poor category at 56%, and after the activity, it increased to the good category at 52%. Health education activities on mental health for adolescents have positive implications for strengthening mental health among adolescents.
