`Aisyiyah Launches Mental Health Alert Branches, Fighting Mental Illness Rates.

,

The Health Assembly of ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) is taking significant steps in addressing the increasingly debilitating mental health problem. In the face of data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey that shows DIY has the highest prevalence of mental disorders, ‘Aisyyah initiated an innovative program called Ranting Siaga Sehat Jiwa, Thursday (03/10).

Ranting

The program was launched to coincide with World Mental Health Day, as a form of ‘Aisyyah’s commitment to increasing awareness and access to mental health services for the community. The Chairperson of the Health Assembly, Dr. dr Istianah, M.Sc, expressed her hope that this program can be a real solution in overcoming the increasingly complex problem of mental disorders.

Early Detection Training is Key

In an effort to strengthen this program, the ‘Aisyyah Health Assembly has organized training on early detection of mental disorders for Health Assembly administrators from all districts in Yogyakarta. The training was led by Dr. Ns. Mamnuah, Sp. Kep.J, Deputy Chairperson of the Health Assembly and lecturer in Mental Nursing at the University of `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, aimed to equip administrators with the knowledge and skills to identify early symptoms of mental illness.

“By recognizing the signs of mental disorders early on, we can provide appropriate interventions and prevent the condition from getting worse,” said Mamnuah.

The training also urged the importance of removing negative stigma towards health issues, so that people are more open to seeking help.

Collaboration is the key to success

Collaboration between the various levels of the ‘Aisyyah organization, from regions to wards, is key to the success of this program. By involving all levels of society, it is hoped that efforts to prevent and treat mental disorders can be more effective. “We hope that Ranting Siaga Sehat Jiwa can become a model for other regions in overcoming mental health problems,” Istianah added.

Muhammadiyah Highlights Double Discrimination of Women with Disabilities In Access to Education

,

Muhammadiyah

In an effort to realize equal and inclusive education, the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership’s Civilization and Human Resources Assembly (MPKSDI), together with Suara Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta, held a book review “Measuring Educational Rights for Women with Disabilities: Religion, Gender, and Policy”. The event, which took place on October 4, 2024, highlighted the double discrimination experienced by women with disabilities in accessing education.

The book by Dr. Islamiyatur Rokhmah, S.Ag., M.S.I., who is a lecturer at UNISA Yogyakarta, thoroughly explores the complex challenges faced by women with disabilities. In addition to facing stigma and physical barriers, they are also often marginalized due to the intersection between gender, disability and poverty. This makes it difficult for them to gain access to proper education.

A Holistic Approach

Uniquely, this book not only highlights the problem from a social and policy perspective, but also integrates Islamic, gender and disability perspectives. Using an intersectionality approach, the book reveals how various forms of discrimination are interrelated and exacerbate the situation of women with disabilities.

“This intersectionality approach is very important to understand the complexity of the problems faced by women with disabilities,” said Dr. Bachtiar Dwi Kurniawan, Chairman of MPKSDI PP Muhammadiyah.

“By understanding the root of the problem, we can design more comprehensive solutions,” he added.

Real Action for Inclusive Education

The book review was not only an academic discussion, but also a momentum to encourage real action. The participants, consisting of academics, activists and policy makers, agreed that there needs to be a concerted effort to realize inclusive education. “We need to change our paradigm on disability,” said Dr. Apt. Salmah Orbayinah, Chairperson of the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah. “Disability is not a shortcoming, but a diversity that we must accommodate in our education system.”

,

In a special moment of the 21st Graduation Ceremony of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, held at the Convention Hall of Walidah Dahlan Mosque, Chairperson of Aisyiyah Central Leadership, Dr. Apt. Salmah Orbayinah, M.Kes., also celebrated International Teachers’ Day, which falls on October 5, 2024. Not only did she deliver an inspiring speech, she also invited the audience to commemorate the services of teachers by singing the “Teacher’s Hymn” together.

Teacher’s Day

In her speech, Dr. Salmah Orbayinah expressed her deep appreciation to teachers who have made tremendous contributions in shaping the nation’s generation. “Today, in the midst of this graduation celebration, we also commemorate World Teachers’ Day, a tribute to those who devotedly educate us to reach this point. Teachers are instrumental in creating future leaders, including the graduates before us today.”

Salmah Orbayinah said that currently UNISA Yogyakarta is one of 172 PTMAs that have received superior accreditation. As a PTMA, it should have three functions, among others

(1) Educational function, which means that all Aisyiyah business charities in the field of education must be able to become a center of knowledge that is able to dissect modern technology to overcome the problems of the people and the nation

(2) Da’wah function, because Aisyiyah is a center for da’wah in accordance with the spirit of da’wah Muhammadiyah & Aisyiyah,

(3) the function of a cadre institution, namely to continue the relay of the nation’s leadership.

“This function is realized through the cooperation of the entire academic community,” he said. He also advised the graduates to develop their knowledge and potential, making a superior and qualified generation and capable of global competitiveness. As a young generation, of course, inheriting the spirit of da’wah of the Muhammadiyah Aisyiyah struggle, with the provision of knowledge that has been owned can take part in society, answering various challenges and problems of the nation. “Let’s realize Muslim scholars who are noble, confident, capable and qualified,” he said.

The graduation ceremony attended by 900 graduates became more solemn with the strains of the “Teacher’s Hymn,” which was sung by all attendees as a form of respect for educators. Dr. Salmah Orbayinah hoped that the spirit of service of the teachers will continue to inspire the younger generation to continue learning, innovating, and contributing to the nation and state. This procession also affirmed the commitment of UNISA Yogyakarta and the Central Leadership of Aisyiyah in supporting quality education, producing outstanding graduates, and appreciating the great role of teachers around the world.
