Social skills are the abilities needed to interact in a multicultural and competitive society. These include communicating, cooperating, sharing, participating, and adapting. Social Skills Training (SST) helps individuals master these skills through joint activities and behavior formation principles. SST is also used as an intervention to enhance clients’ problem-solving abilities, especially in conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, behavioral disorders, social phobia, and anxiety. For people with mental disorders who are in recovery, social skills training is important for building interaction, communication, cooperation, and creativity skills. The results of this training can provide feelings of happiness and pride, such as through artistic works or other skills.

2024-09-05T07:18:53+00:00

Cipendawa Village, located on a tourist route, faces serious challenges related to the circulation and abuse of NAPZA (Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances). Data shows that there are victims of NAPZA abuse among teenagers in this village. One of the main issues is the lack of parental understanding about NAPZA abuse, including its types, distribution methods, and treatment options. Many parents are unaware that their children are using NAPZA, often attributing it to mystical causes, hiding the reality, and not knowing what to do, leaving the victims of NAPZA abuse (KPN) without proper treatment. Recovery Agents (AP) in Cipendawa Village have conducted various interventions to help KPN, such as barista training and catfish farming. However, these interventions are not sustainable, raising concerns that KPN might relapse into using NAPZA. The APs also face difficulties in finding effective solutions to these problems. Despite this, the AP and IMB of Cipendawa Village have become models for other villages, demonstrating good potential and capabilities that can be enhanced to become more competent in their roles as Recovery Agents
