Abstract

Mental health issues remain a serious public health challenge, particularly in rural areas such as Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region. Low levels of public awareness, limited access to services, and negative stigma against people with mental disorders (ODGJ) contribute to low mental health resilience. This community service activity aims to improve mental health resilience through a community participatory approach, involving the formation and training of mental health cadres. Implementation methods include cross-sector outreach, cadre training, mentoring the implementation of the Mental Health Integrated Health Post (Posyandu), and evaluating changes in community knowledge. Results indicate the formation of "Sadar Saras Jiwa" mental health cadres capable of providing education, early detection, and mentoring to ODGJ. After the training, community awareness increased by 70%, and the Mental Health Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) activities are carried out routinely every month. Collaboration between village governments, community health centers, community leaders, and cadres creates a social support network that strengthens residents' mental health resilience. This participatory approach has proven effective in building community independence and reducing the stigma surrounding mental disorders.
