Partnership: Providing Mental Health Counseling, Overcoming Challenges Together

Lingkar Madani, Packard Foundation, Penabulu, dan Angsamerah

In everyday life, we are often faced with pressure, anxiety and difficult challenges. For those of us who work daily jobs, who are often in a harsh and stressful work environment, maintaining mental health is very important. This is why mental health counseling programs such as the Lingkar Madani – Angsamerah Joint Counseling Program, are so valuable.

Do I need mental health counseling?

Good mental health is key to well-being. Mental health counseling helps us manage the stress, anxiety, and depression we may experience. It also provides us with skills and strategies to better face life’s challenges.

What are the benefits of mental health counseling for me?

• Reduces Stress and Anxiety. Counseling gives us the opportunity to talk about the problems we face and find ways to overcome them, which can help reduce stress and anxiety levels.
• Improving Coping (the way we face and respond to problems). With the help of a counselor, we can develop effective coping strategies to deal with life’s stresses and better overcome challenges.
• Improves Emotional Well-Being. Counseling helps us to understand and manage our emotions better, so that we can feel happier and emotionally balanced.
• Increase work productivity. With a healthy and stable emotional psychological condition, we are better able to focus on things that need to be prioritized in order to achieve targets and hopes.
• Improve intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. Through the counseling process, we not only get an overview of the root of the problem, we can also get solutions or alternatives that can come from ourselves with professional help. Apart from that, the counseling process also explores intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that can be improved to become a more neutral, useful and professional individual.
