ABSTRACT
Students enrolled between 2022 and 2025 are highly vulnerable to mental health issues due to various challenges they face. This community service program (CSP), initiated by the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, aims to promote mental health awareness and peer support strategies. It began with a focus group discussion (FGD) involving the CSP team, experts from the West Java Provincial Mental Hospital, UPI’s counselling services, the UPI Polyclinic, and student representatives. The program continued with a seminar led by a psychiatric specialist, attended by 40 offline student representatives from all UPI faculties and 15 online participants from regional campuses. This was followed by training on creating positive social media content and the launch of the Great Mental Health - FK UPI IDN WhatsApp Channel. The program concluded with an evaluation. As a result, students gained increased mental health knowledge expected to be disseminated within their faculties, alongside the creation of a digital platform providing accessible, educational mental health content.
