Community empowerment is one of the efforts or processes to raise awareness, willingness and ability possessed by the community in recognizing, overcoming, protecting and improving the welfare of the community itself. Community empowerment can be realized in real work college activities or KKN. The work program created is to provide psychoeducation to the community, especially regarding maintaining mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was created to provide education to the public, especially mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, this was done due to the lack of information obtained by the public regarding psychological conditions which also greatly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
