Abstract

The process of community empowerment in this case mental health cadres who have a role in
moving the community in following counseling on mental health is very important, considering that
in the community there are many sources that can cause families to experience mental health risks
or disorders in addition to maintaining their health conditions. Mental health cadres are expected to
be able to provide knowledge to the public about the mental problems faced by them. Through this
training activity, the basic skills possessed by cadres regarding early detection of mental health,
education about mental health are increased. This will go hand in hand with the active participation
of health care workers, in this case the Puskesmas nurses. The mental health cadre training was
attended by 42 cadres at the Cigeureung Community Health Center. Based on the results of the pretest and post-test, the score increased by 16 points (9.2%), meaning that there was an increase in
cadres' knowledge of mental health. In addition, cadres can detect mental health early through
simulations in families and communities
