Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Group Counseling Services in Increasing Empathy
This study aims to describe students' views on the effectiveness of group counseling services in strengthening empathy capacity at SMA Negeri 12 Pekanbaru. The background of this study is that empathy is an integrated social-emotional competency that is fundamental to harmonious interactions between students and the development of positive character. The methodology chosen was descriptive qualitative, with the subjects being students who had experienced group counseling services facilitated by their homeroom teachers as guidance counselors. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies, and was then analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings show that students appreciate group counseling as an effective forum that contributes to strengthening empathy. Improvements were observed in terms of emotional awareness, listening and appreciation skills, and manifested in real behavior in the form of caring for others. Limitations were found in groups with a certain number of members, where the time provided seemed sufficient on average. Nevertheless, the overall impression of the direction of group counseling remained positive, with consequences that supported the strengthening of the Pancasila student profile that was being implemented

Hybrid Art Therapy Models: Combining Mindfulness, Technology, and Creative Expression for Holistic Healing
The development of digital technology and the increasing psychological pressures on modern society demand innovation in mental health practices. Hybrid Art Therapy Models, which combine art, mindfulness, and digital technology, emerged as a holistic approach to supporting mental well-being. This study uses the literature review method by examining scientific articles, books, and proceedings related to hybrid art therapy published in the period 2015–2025. The study process includes topic identification, literature search, selection based on relevance, data extraction, thematic analysis, and synthesis of results. The results of the study show that the hybrid art therapy model is effective in improving emotional expression, emotion regulation, self-awareness, and therapy participant involvement. Digital technologies, such as interactive apps, virtual reality, and online platforms, provide flexibility, inclusivity, and immersive experiences, while mindfulness deepens self-reflection in the creative process. This model is relevant for a variety of contexts, including education, mental health clinics, and community programs. However, its implementation faces challenges in the form of limited access to technology, training needs for therapists, and ethical and privacy issues. This study concludes that hybrid art therapy offers an innovative, creative, and adaptive approach to holistic healing, as well as being the basis for the development of further research in the field of mental health

Play Therapy as a Counseling Guidance Service for Children Victims of Natural Disasters
Children affected by disasters often experience trauma, anxiety, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can disrupt their emotional and social development. One method commonly used in Guidance and Counseling (BK) is Play Therapy, a therapy that uses play as a tool to help children express their feelings more easily. This article aims to comprehensively review the results of research published in the last five years (2020–2025) on the effectiveness of Play Therapy for children affected by disasters. The method used literature review using sources from various databases such as Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Garuda Kemdikbud. The review results indicate that Play Therapy is very helpful in reducing trauma symptoms, increasing coping skills, and supporting the psychosocial recovery of children affected by disasters. Several types of therapy that have proven effective include sand play therapy, group play therapy, and art-based play therapy. However, several challenges remain, such as a lack of facilities, limited training for counselors, and the ever-changing post-disaster situation. The implication is that schools and humanitarian organizations should provide specialized training for counselors and also encourage the inclusion of Play Therapy in trauma recovery programs after disasters
The Meaning of Verbal and Nonverbal Bullying Experiences on Teenagers' Self-Confidence
This study aims to explore the meaning of bullying experiences and their implications for adolescents’ self-confidence. Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage in which individuals build identity, establish social relationships, and develop self-confidence; however, this process is often disrupted by bullying, both verbal and nonverbal. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research involved adolescents who had direct experiences of bullying. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed via Google Forms and complemented by follow-up interviews through WhatsApp. The research instrument consisted of open-ended questions designed to capture participants’ personal experiences regarding the influence of bullying on their self-confidence. Data analysis employed descriptive qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that 90% of respondents reported experiencing bullying occasionally, while 10% experienced it frequently, with significant psychological impacts. Specifically, 70% of respondents indicated that nonverbal bullying such as exclusion, derogatory gestures, or hostile facial expressions was more painful and detrimental to self-confidence compared to verbal bullying. Verbal bullying, however, also negatively affected victims’ academic performance and emotional regulation. Further analysis revealed that the sources of bullying came from peers, family members, and seniors. Nevertheless, some respondents demonstrated resilience by reframing bullying as motivation, particularly when supported by protective factors such as encouragement from family or peers. In conclusion, bullying, especially in its nonverbal form, significantly undermines adolescents’ self-confidence, but resilience and social support can serve as buffers to help victims cope with its psychological consequences
The Role of Guidance and Counseling in Addressing the Impact of Social Media on Adolescent Mental Health
This study aims to examine the influence of social media on adolescents’ mental health from the perspective of guidance and counseling. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with questionnaires as the main instrument, supported by interviews to enrich the data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to determine the relationship between the intensity of social media use and indicators of mental health such as stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. The findings indicate that excessive use of social media has a significant negative impact on adolescents’ psychological well-being, while moderate and positive use may enhance social support and self-expression. The study concludes that guidance and counseling play a crucial role in helping adolescents develop digital literacy, emotional regulation, and healthy social interactions in the online environment
The Resilience of Generation Z Students Who Have Lost a Father Figure: A Guidance and Counseling Perspective
The loss of a father figure is a traumatic experience that can significantly impact the psychological and social well-being of university students, especially Generation Z individuals who are in a critical stage of identity development and independence. This study aims to explore the resilience dynamics of Gen Z students who have lost their fathers, viewed from the perspective of guidance and counseling. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed to deeply understand the experiences of three students who lost their fathers due to death. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that father loss causes profound emotional distress, feelings of emptiness, and emotional crises. However, participants demonstrated resilience by employing positive coping strategies such as seeking social support, engaging in productive activities, and utilizing university-based guidance and counseling services. Counseling interventions, particularly those based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), were found to be effective in helping students regulate emotions and strengthen self-efficacy. This study highlights the crucial role of guidance and counseling in supporting students who have experienced parental loss and underscores the need to develop services that are responsive to the unique characteristics of Gen Z.
Application of Group Counseling Services for Emotional Regulation in Students from Broken Home Families: A Literature Study
The family is the primary environment that shapes the emotional development of individuals. Disharmony in the family, as in the case of a broken home, can negatively impact the student's ability to regulate emotions, the manifestation of which is often seen in the form of difficulty managing anger, anxiety, and sadness. This study aims to systematically examine the application of group counseling services as an intervention to improve the ability to regulate emotions in students from broken homes through a literature review approach. The method used was a literature review of various scientific sources such as journals, books, and previous research relevant to the variables of group counseling, emotion regulation, and students from broken homes. The results of the study showed that group counseling provided a safe and supportive environment for students to share similar experiences, thereby reducing feelings of isolation. Through group dynamics, such as feedback, modeling, and interpersonal learning, students can learn and practice adaptive emotion regulation strategies. These interventions facilitate the development of coping skills, improve self-understanding, and build empathy, which collectively contribute to improved ability to effectively manage emotional turmoil. It was concluded that group counseling services are one of the potential and effective approaches to help students from broken home families in developing healthier emotional regulation

Literature Review: The Role of Counselors in Handling Bullying in School Environments
Bullying in schools has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon due to its short- and long-term negative impacts on students' psychological, social, and academic development. Bullying behaviors, which may include physical, verbal, or psychological abuse, not only harm the victims but also disrupt the overall learning climate. School counselors play a strategic role in preventing, addressing, and minimizing the impact of bullying through various counseling interventions. This article aims to review the role of counselors in handling school bullying through a systematic literature review of both national and international studies published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that counselors serve not only as facilitators of individual and group counseling but also as educators, mediators, and advocates for students. Counseling interventions based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic approaches, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) have been proven effective in helping victims overcome trauma, build self-confidence, and reduce aggressive behavior among perpetrators. Moreover, counselors play an essential role in fostering a safe school culture by collaborating with teachers, parents, and other stakeholders. Challenges faced include the limited number of school counselors, students' reluctance to report bullying, and the lack of supportive school policies. In conclusion, school counselors hold a central role in creating a bullying-free learning environment through integrative, collaborative, and sustainable counseling approaches
Children's Toy Learning Model in Taman Indria: Ki Hajar Dewantara's Perspective of Thought
Traditional Indonesian games and games are part of Ki Hajar Dewantara's educational concept. His distinctive early childhood education concept utilizes the Among and Sariswara systems.

The Influence of Social Support on the Stress Level of Migrant Students in the Department of Islamic Educational Guidance and Counseling UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau
This study aims to analyze the influence of social support on the stress levels experienced by out-of-town students in The Department of Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling at UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau. Entering university as an out-of-town student is a transitional period filled with unique challenges that can be significant sources of stress, including cultural adaptation, financial independence, and academic pressure. Social support is theoretically viewed as a key protective factor against these stressors. Employing a quantitative approach with a correlational design, this study involved 27 out-of-town IEGC students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire for both variables—social support (independent) and stress level (dependent)—and then analyzed with SPSS software. Data analysis included classical assumption tests (normality, linearity, heteroscedasticity) and hypothesis testing using simple linear regression analysis. The classical assumption tests confirmed that the data were normally distributed, had a linear relationship, and exhibited no heteroscedasticity. However, hypothesis test results showed that social support did not have a statistically significant effect on stress levels, with a significance value of p=0.190 (p>0.05). The R² value of 0.068 indicates that social support explained only 6.8% of the variance in stress levels. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was rejected. This non-significant result is likely due to methodological limitations, particularly the very small sample size which diminished the statistical power, as well as the possible presence of more dominant variables such as resilience and individual coping strategies that were not measured in this study
Tracing the Traces of Digital Addiction: A Study of Mobile Phone Addiction Reducing the Sleep Quality of Students at UIN Suska Riau
The transformation of digital technology has changed the way students interact and carry out their daily activities, particularly through the increasingly intensive use of smartphones. This usage facilitates communication and access to information, but it also poses the risk of addictive behavior that can reduce focus, productivity, and the overall quality of academic life. This study aims to identify the level of smartphone addiction and its impact on the sleep quality of students at UIN Suska Riau. The research uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling techniques involving 30 students. The questionnaire used for variable X (smartphone addiction) consists of 10 statement items based on the SAS-SV (Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version), while the questionnaire used for variable Y (sleep quality) consists of 10 statement items based on the PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). The results show that the majority of students have a high pattern of smartphone use leading to addiction, characterized by excessive usage, difficulty in time management, and negative impacts on academic activities. These findings highlight the importance of addressing smartphone addiction in higher education environments
Implementation of Individual Counseling Services to Reduce Students' Academic Stress
Academic stress is one of the major challenges frequently encountered by university students. It may arise from heavy coursework, performance pressure, adjustment to the campus environment, poor time management, learning difficulties, psychological factors, as well as personal and environmental problems. When unmanaged, this stress can negatively affect students’ learning motivation, mental health, and academic achievement. Individual counseling is considered an effective intervention to help students cope with such stress. Through this service, students are provided opportunities to explore their concerns in a private setting, express emotions, identify stressors, develop their potential to function optimally, and obtain solutions tailored to their needs. This study applies a library research method by reviewing and analyzing books, scientific literature, and relevant research related to individual counseling and academic stress. Findings indicate that individual counseling is effective in helping students recognize stress sources, develop adaptive coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. Therefore, the implementation of individual counseling can serve as a strategic alternative to reducing academic stress while supporting students’ psychological well-being
Analysis of Mental Health Literacy in College Students
Mental health is very important to support the quality of life and academic achievement of students. However, many students still lack understanding about mental health, making it easy for them to experience stress, anxiety, or depression without proper help. This study aimed to determine students' level of understanding of mental health and the factors that influence it. The study was conducted by collecting numerical data through a survey of students from various majors, as well as through in-depth interviews as a qualitative approach. The results showed that most students understood the basics of mental health, but still struggled to recognize early signs of mental health disorders and choose appropriate support services. Factors such as access to information, support from the social environment, and stigma towards mental health have a big influence on the level of understanding about mental health. These findings suggest that mental health education programs on campus are needed to raise awareness, prevent psychological problems, and encourage a culture of caring about mental health among students
Self-Injury Behavior Among Students of Uin Suska Riau
This study aims to analyze self-harm behaviors among college students and to identify its prevalence rate. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a total of 30 items as a research instrument, which consisted of favorable and unfavorable statements related to self-harm behavior. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, including the categorization of scores into five levels: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The results showed that the majority of students as many as 15 participants (50%) were categorized as having low self-harm behavior, followed by 11 participants (36.6%) in the very low category, 2 participants (6.6%) in the medium category, and 1 participant (3.3%) each in the high and very high categories. These findings suggest that self-harm behaviors among students are generally at low levels. The conclusions suggest that preventive measures and early intervention are important to maintain students' mental well-being and to minimize the risk of self-harming behavior
Self-Efficacy Assessment of New Students in the Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling Study Program Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau State Islamic University Academic Year 2025/2026
This study aims to describe the level of self-efficacy of new students in the Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling Study Program (BKPI) at UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau for the 2025/2026 academic year. The research method used a quantitative descriptive approach with a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 25 statement items. The validity of the instrument was tested using Pearson Product Moment correlation and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha, which showed reliable results (α = 0.832). The research subjects consisted of 125 new students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using SPSS. The results showed that the majority of respondents had high (46%) and very high (31%) self-efficacy. Meanwhile, 21% were in the moderate category, 2% were low, and 1% were very low. These findings confirm that most new BKPI students already have positive self-confidence to face academic and social demands in college. However, the existence of a small group of students with moderate to very low self-efficacy indicates the need for special assistance strategies. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of self-efficacy strengthening programs, such as academic coaching, learning skills workshops, mentoring, and counseling services, so that all students can adapt optimally and develop professional readiness as prospective counselors
Roblox and Adolescent Social Relationships: A Qualitative Exploration for School Counseling Service Development
This study explores the role of Roblox as a digital platform that shapes adolescents' social relationships and its implications for school counseling services. Using a qualitative case study approach supported by literature review, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The results show that adolescents were initially motivated to play Roblox out of curiosity, peer influence, and fear of missing out (FOMO). Over time, Roblox developed into a social space where they built friendships, collaborated on tasks, and expressed emotions. These interactions contributed positively to adolescents' self-confidence, communication, and sense of belonging, but also presented risks such as addiction, toxic behavior, and reduced face-to-face interaction. This study concluded that Roblox can be both an opportunity and a challenge for adolescent development. For school counseling services, the implications include the need to integrate digital literacy education, strengthen socio-emotional skills, and involve parents in guiding healthy digital engagement for adolescents. Thus, Roblox can be considered not only as entertainment but also as a meaningful medium for social learning that supports students' well-being and personal growth in the digital age

Group Guidance Based on The Javanese Philosophy of Life Memayu Hayuning Bawana to Improve Pro-Social Behavior of Adolescents
Humans and culture are interconnected entities, so the practitioner's culture must also guide guidance and counseling practices. Current guidance and counseling practices in Indonesia are still centered on Western culture, even though Indonesia has many cultural values that can be integrated into guidance practices. Memayu Hayuning Bawana is a Javanese (Indonesian) philosophy of life, meaning to make the world beautiful. In a situation of increasing antisocial behavior among adolescents, the philosophy of life of Memayu Hayuning Bawana is relevant to be accommodated in the lives of adolescents to increase pro-social behavior. Previous research has shown that group guidance effectively increases pro-social behavior in adolescents, especially in Indonesia. This literature study aims to analyze the values contained in Memayu Hayuning Bawana's philosophy of life and create a prototype model of group guidance based on Memayu Hayuning Bawana to increase pro-social behavior in adolescents. This literature review aims to complement the existing literature on group guidance interventions to increase pro-social behavior. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the concept of Memayu Hayuning Bawana into psychological interventions. This research falls within the scope of indigenous counseling because it incorporates local cultural values as the basis for intervention. The literature review indicates that group counseling based on the Javanese philosophy of life, "Memayu Hayuning Bawana," effectively improves prosocial behavior among Indonesian adolescents
Multicultural Group Counseling Based on Malay Cultural Values "Saprahan" in Cultivating Attitudes of Tolerance in Adolescents
The existence of various youth conflicts carried out in groups has an impact on other members to be carried away by negative thought patterns that cause a lack of tolerance for mutual respect and acceptance of others.
