Parenting Education for Family Development at PCA Kraton

,

The 12th batch of midwifery students at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta are not only concerned with theory. They went directly to the community through community service activities in the working area of the ‘Aisyiyah Branch Leadership (PCA) Kraton Yogyakarta. With the theme “Strengthening the Role of Midwives in Women’s Empowerment for Early Detection of Maternal and Child Health in the Community,” this activity is a clear proof of UNISA’s commitment in producing midwives who are not only medically skilled, but also socially sensitive.

This field practice activity is neatly structured, starting from the identification and analysis of health problems in the community, formulation of solutions, program planning, implementation, to evaluation and follow-up plans. The main focus is women’s empowerment, especially in the context of maternal and child health. The goal is for women to have adequate knowledge, attitudes and skills to make the right decisions for the health of themselves, their children and their families. As WHO emphasizes, empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and turn them into concrete actions.

Not only that, this activity also touches on aspects of family resilience, which is the family’s ability to face, manage, and recover from various pressures or crises. A resilient family will create a safe and supportive environment.

As a concrete manifestation, students initiated an educational agenda entitled “Build Warmth, Create Resilience.” This educational series was held in two sessions. First, on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the Sakinah Family Consultation Bureau Forum of PCA Kraton which was attended by 28 women administrators. Second, on Friday, June 13, 2025, at TK ABA Kadipaten Kulon with 17 student guardians.

In the forum, students delivered material on the importance of communication and warmth in the family, the role of fathers and mothers as agents of family resilience, and skills to build resilient household harmony with positive parenting in children. Activities are packaged interactively, with discussions and simulations to build emotional closeness as a foundation for family resilience and prevention of early childhood mental health problems. Participants were also provided with simple screening exercises using the Child Strengths and Difficulties Assessment Questionnaire (SDQ), an early detection tool for emotional and behavioral problems in children aged 4-18 years.

PCA Kraton Chairperson, Laila Desi Ikawati, welcomed this activity. “Alhamdulillah, the material is good and in line with the education that we also run. Insha’Allah, there are new things that we have just learned in this family resilience education,” she said.

The event was also attended by the principal of TK ABA Kadipaten Kulon and UNISA Yogyakarta supervisors. Hopefully, this education will be a valuable provision for mothers and women in Kraton to build healthy, resilient and harmonious families.

Psychologist at UNISA Yogyakarta: Sending Juvenile Offenders to Military Barracks may be one way, but it’s not the only solution.

,

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi’s policy of sending juvenile delinquents to military barracks has sparked debate in the community. Not only criticism, this policy also raises various different views from experts, including from a lecturer and psychologist at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, Annisa Warastri, S.Psi, M.Psi, Psychologist.

According to Annisa, this policy can be one way to reduce the number of juvenile delinquents, especially when viewed from the discipline side. She said that naughty children are generally children who get out of the rules, so the approach that must be taken is to return them to the disciplinary structure.

“The definition of naughty is out of the rules, right? How do you get them organized? Yes, enter the rules again. Because in my opinion, to handle naughty children, they must be disciplined, basically naughty children have never been restrained by rules,” said Annisa, at UNISA, Thursday (5/22/2025).

Nevertheless, Annisa emphasized that sending children to military barracks cannot be considered as the only solution to deal with juvenile delinquency. She reminded that each child has a different psychological background, so the approach cannot be generalized.

“For some people you can, just a few people. Because when we talk about the psychology of people and the characteristics of each person are different. Maybe because this is the first time and the story is about military barracks, people are afraid, but basically the key is to be disciplined. It doesn’t always have to be the military barracks, for example something he likes,” he said.

In his view, to solve the problem of child delinquency, it is not only left entirely to the government. Rather, there must be a role for parents in shaping children’s character from an early age, because effective coaching starts from the family environment.

“Character is the result of a marriage between parenting and the environment, who makes parenting? Parents, right? For example, if the child is naughty, the parents usually spoil the child? Well, that’s the reason it can be like that, that’s what parents should be educated about,” he concluded.

Although this policy has not escaped debate, she still appreciates the steps taken by Dedi Mulyadi. Annisa assessed that this kind of attention is important as a first step to deal with the morals of the younger generation.

“I really appreciate the efforts of KDM (Kang Dedi Mulyadi). At least he tried, at least he tried. I don’t know, but there has been no governor since KDM, because I am a West Javanese, there has been no governor whose concern is related to juvenile delinquency. At least he has tried, and we have to appreciate him,” Annisa concluded.

Korkom IMM UNISA Holds Journalism Training

,

The Coordinator of the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IMM) of Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta organized a journalism training at Siti Walidah Building, on Sunday (25/5/2025). This activity is an effort from the UNISA IMM Student Council to reignite the spirit of democracy on the UNISA campus. 

Korkom IMM UNISA Chairperson, Abdul Khalim Mubaroq said in his speech that he planned to establish a Student Press Organization (LPM) as a follow-up plan to this training.

“This press organization is not only to provide a space for UNISA students to aspire, but also to improve their writing skills. This is very much needed in the academic world, for example making theses, articles, papers and opinions,” he concluded.

In line with that, the advisor of Korkom IMM UNISA, Fajrus Shodiq, S.IP., M.KP, also expressed his welcome and appreciation. He emphasized that this journalistic training activity could be a path to the future professional world.

“This can be a good preparation, I think, to be a reinforcement for the capacity of UNISA students as a whole and self-development on this occasion,” Shodiq said.

In this training, Korkom IMM UNISA presented Aan Ardiyanto, a senior journalist from Media and Communication (Medkom) of Muhammadiyah Central Leadership (PP) as the main speaker. In his presentation, he discussed the basics of journalism, news coverage techniques, and the importance of maintaining journalistic ethics in conveying information.

The training atmosphere was active and interactive. Participants not only listened to the material, but were also invited to practice directly writing news based on simulated events. The enthusiasm of the participants could be seen from the lively discussions and critical questions posed to the speakers.

One of the participants, Anggi Vinatasya, a student of UNISA’s Information Technology Program, expressed her enthusiasm after participating in this activity.

“The benefit that I feel from this class is that besides getting knowledge in the form of theory, we also get the practical part of writing. So it complements each other, our writing can also be corrected directly, it turns out we have to write like this,” she said.

This journalism training confirms the role of IMM as a student organization that is not only engaged in regeneration and advocacy, but also contributes to building a healthy, critical, and productive climate of campus democracy through literacy and journalistic work.

Using Telobags, Environmentally Friendly Qurbani at Walidah Dahlan Mosque, Unisa Yogyakarta

,

News, Green Unisa Yogya, News

Walidah Dahlan Mosque of ‘Aisyiyah University (Unisa) Yogyakarta shows real steps to support environmental sustainability. One of them is in the distribution of sacrificial animals, as many as 2,000 packages, without using plastic, but using Telobag.

At first glance, Telobag looks similar to plastic, and its use is the same as plastic. However, Telobag is made from cassava which is more environmentally friendly. Telobag is easier to decompose, even in a relatively short time.

Walidah Dahlan Unisa Yogyakarta Mosque in Eid al-Adha this time indeed carries the theme ‘Sharing 2,000 Packages of Zero Plastic Qurban Meat’, as a form of support for protecting the environment.

“In order to be environmentally friendly, we use materials from rice bran, so that later it can be easily decomposed and does not pollute the environment. This is the second year the mosque has organized a zero plastic qurbani,” said Muhammad Nurdin Zuhri, chairman of the mosque’s takmir, Monday (9/6/2025).

This year, the mosque slaughtered 10 cows and 14 goats. In addition to being distributed to local residents and people in need, the meat was also distributed to the Kulon Progo area.

In the process of slaughtering the qurbani, apart from the certified Halal Butchers (Juleha), hundreds of students from various backgrounds were also involved. “We involved around 150 students, both Muslim and non-Muslim. We also collaborate with the Muhammadiyah Mlangi Branch,” said Nurdin.

Head of the Sacrifice Committee of Walidah Dahlan Mosque Unisa Yogyakarta, Islamiyatur Rokhmah, said that the students were not only involved in the slaughtering process. Students are also taught to sacrifice by donating IDR 10,000 per person. “Alhamdulillah, from this fundraising, enough money was collected to buy one cow. The cow comes from students and will be utilized for students as well,” said Islamiyatur.

Islamiyatur said the meaning of this activity is a form of empathy and social care. “We want to feel what the community feels, including online motorcycle taxis, street vendors, and other marginalized groups who may only taste meat once a year,” said Islamiyatur.
