The issues faced by adolescents who are victims of physical and sexual violence sometimes require social workers to take a long time to understand their condition, as the victims are often not yet willing to open up and are still experiencing anxiety disorders. Nourishment and Art Therapy are among the most frequently applied psychosocial therapies by social workers at Sentra Handayani Jakarta for clients facing these issues. Based on the assessment results of the Nourishment practice applied by social workers, there are still several problems and needs that ultimately require solutions to ensure that Nourishment can be carried out effectively and efficiently. The technological innovation designed is the Nourish-Art Therapy, which is a development of Nourishment and Art Therapy. The purpose of implementing Nourish-Art Therapy is to reduce anxiety levels and enable clients to express their unfinished business issues. The research method applied is the SSD research method using three research subjects. The results of the study, based on analysis and observation of the three research subjects in terms of lack of focus and poor sleep aspects, showed a decrease in anxiety levels in each condition based on the trend direction/graph tendency, data analysis within conditions/situations and between conditions/situations displayed, indicating that the implementation of Nourish-Art Therapy can reduce anxiety levels in adolescents who are victims of physical and sexual violence at Sentra Handayani Jakarta.

Limited promotion does not adequately support increased community access to services. The limitations of promotion are related to promotional planning that is still not comprehensive and non-participatory. This research aims to develop a comprehensive and participatory service promotion planning model. This research used a qualitative approach with Participatory Action Research (PAR). It involved patients, families and communities, ophthalmologists, social workers, psychologists, health educators, optometrists, public relations staff and health promotion staff. The data were collected by observation, documentation study, in-depth interview and focus group discussion. Validity testing used credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability techniques. Then it was analyzed by usingMile & Huberman model. The research findings show that this model produces a comprehensive service promotion system, and ensures the dissemination of information that is more accessible to service users thus improving service delivery. The model uses the concept of society 5.0 which includes the use of digital technology, emphasis on the balance between technology and people, continuous capacity building such as education and skills training, the use of integrated systems, data security and privacy. The model offers ease of implementation as it has five steps that are systematic and participatory. The pilot test of this model at Cicendo Eye Hospital has resulted in continuous dissemination of information utilizing audio-visual media technology and has resulted in an increase in the number of patients. The use of audio-visual media technology has proven to make it easier for people with visual disabilities to obtain information.

The increasing abuse of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) in Jayagiri Village, Cianjur Regency, represents a significant issue that necessitates comprehensive intervention from the government and community elements. In addressing the issue of NDPS abuse in Jayagiri Village, in 2022, the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Cianjur Regency, in collaboration with the village government, established a Community-Based Intervention (IBM) in Jayagiri Village as part of the Desa Bersinar program. Community participation is crucial in efforts to combat NDPS abuse. Therefore, the IBM recovery agent was established. Following its formation, this recovery agent received capacity-building to enhance knowledge and skills in implementing IBM activities/services. This study aims to develop technology engineering for capacity building and support for IBM recovery agents, focusing on the primary concept of assisting IBM recovery agents in implementing activities/services in the field, as well as community participation in program evaluation. This study employs a qualitative approach using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. Data collection involves documentation studies, observations, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Additionally, two tools or methods supporting FGD are utilized: Methodology Participatory Assessment (MPA) and Technology of Participation (ToP). The results indicated that the design of capacity building and mentoring for IBM recovery agents effectively enhanced their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, community participation in providing input or feedback on IBM activities/services was effective for the future development of the IBM program. The achieved outcome was that the implementation of IBM activities and services became more optimal and of higher quality.

WDEP+AC reality therapy is a development of Want, Doing, Evaluation Reality Therapy. WDEP+AC Reality Therapy uses a cognitive approach that aims to analyze the effect of WDEP+AC reality therapy on increasing the self-control of drug abuse victims at the Sekar Mawar Foundation. The specific aim of this research is to analyze the level of self-control of drug abuse victims before, during, and after the implementation of WDEP+AC Reality Therapy. The research method used is quantitative research with an experimental model. This research uses a Single Subject Design (SSD) with a Reversal A-B-A design. The target behavior observed in this research is lazy behavior, unable to express oneself, and being easily distracted/unable to determine priorities The instruments used were observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation studies. The subjects in this study were three victims of drug abuse at the Sekar Mawar Foundation who were inpatient residents, were no longer drug dependent, were male, and had behavior that lacked self-control. Based on the results of the data analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that WDEP+AC Reality Therapy is effective in increasing the self-control of drug abuse victims at the Sekar Mawar Foundation. This is proven by the decrease in the behavior of the three research subjects, namely ES, DK, and BG. WDEP+AC Reality Therapy can be a reference in refining the concept of reality therapy and contributes to providing the development of a reality therapy model in social work practice with drugs.
