Digital Education to Increase Mental Health Awareness in Adolescents

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly impacted lifestyle, especially among adolescents. One of the emerging challenges is the increasing risk of mental health issues due to digital interactions, such as cyberbullying, unhealthy social comparisons, and exposure to negative content. This Community Service Program (PKM), led by students of SMK Al-Hikmah at Pamulang University, aims to educate students on the importance of mental health awareness in the digital era and how to use technology wisely. The activity was carried out through the provision of interactive materials, discussions, and Q&A sessions that actively engaged students.  This educational approach is expected to enhance students’ understanding of mental health concepts, help them recognize early warning signs, and emphasize the importance of seeking help.
