Abstract


The Juvenile Social Protection and Rehabilitation Center (BPRSR) of Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) handles juvenile street violence (klithih) offenders but faces challenges in peer mentoring, a vital component of restorative justice. To enhance the skills of BPRSR staff, the Youth Studies Centre (YouSure), in collaboration with the Centre for Public Mental Health (CPMH), organized a community service program in the form of a workshop series. The program aimed to strengthen staff capabilities in identifying mental health problems, providing psychological first aid, and offering basic counseling. The training began with a pre-test to assess participants’ initial skills, followed by the training sessions, and concluded with a post-test. Results from the pre-test revealed a lack of understanding of the procedures for addressing mental health issues, while the post-test demonstrated a significant improvement in both skills and knowledge. Despite the training’s effectiveness, further followup is necessary to achieve a more comprehensive approach to restorative justice. Future training should be more in-depth and ongoing, addressing the identified gaps and supporting the practical application of these skills in adolescent rehabilitation at BPRSR.
