Adolescents affected by parental divorce face increased risks of mental health challenges, often exacerbated by custody disputes, post-separation abuse, and institutional inadequacies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of trauma-informed, family-based interventions and custody-related policy reforms that promote adolescent mental health, with a focus on the integration of the Islamic principle of maslahah as an ethical framework. A systematic review was conducted using three databases (ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus) covering publications from 2000 to 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on empirical studies addressing interventions, custody policies, and mental health outcomes in adolescents aged 10–21. Findings reveal that Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) reduces behavioral issues and improves emotional regulation; Multisystemic Therapy and Wraparound Services prevent custody relinquishment and support family cohesion. Legislative reforms like the Family First Prevention Services Act have shown promise in redirecting funding toward prevention, yet face significant implementation disparities. Reports of healthcare obstruction and court-induced trauma remain critical threats to adolescent well-being. The review also found that custody loss, particularly among adolescent parents, correlates with increased substance use and long-term psychosocial instability. The integration of maslahah into legal and mental health frameworks provides a culturally grounded approach to trauma-informed reform. These findings emphasize the need for cross-sectoral collaboration, standardized trauma protocols, and culturally responsive service models. This study advances a holistic understanding of adolescent welfare in custody contexts and identifies pathways for ethical and sustainable reform.

People with visual impairment face barriers in cash transactions, particularly in identifying banknote denominations and verifying authenticity, which can reduce independence and increase vulnerability to fraud. This issue is also closely linked to the financial inclusion agenda, as access to reliable information on the value and authenticity of cash is a prerequisite for safe transactions among vulnerable groups. This community service program aimed to improve users’ competence through individualized, home-visit–based education and mentoring on an optical–UV sensor–based banknote denomination and authenticity detector with audio feedback. The program was implemented in collaboration with the Kebumen branches of PERTUNI and ITMI from October to December 2025. The intervention stages included an initial needs assessment, structured training using a concise module, hands-on practice through transaction scenarios, and follow-up mentoring. Evaluation employed a pre–post knowledge test, a practical performance checklist, and a usability questionnaire. Results indicated that the mean knowledge score increased from 55.1 to 80.7, and the success rate of denomination identification improved from 60.7% to 90.0%. This approach is relevant as an individualized mentoring model for blind communities when group-based training is difficult to implement.

Indonesia continues to face a significant burden of stunting that seriously impacts human resource quality and national development. Stunting is defined as a condition of chronic linear growth failure in children under five years, characterized by height-for-age below minus two standard deviations (−2 SD) from the WHO Child Growth Standards median, resulting from prolonged nutritional deficiency during the first 1,000 days of life. Indonesia's national stunting prevalence in 2022 remained at 21.6%, far from the 2024 national target of 14%. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of pregnant mothers and mothers with toddlers regarding the definition, causative factors, impacts, and prevention strategies of stunting in Banyumas Village, Stabat District, Langkat Regency, in 2025. A community-based participatory intervention approach with a pre-post single group design was employed, incorporating interactive health counseling, group discussion sessions, anthropometric examination of toddlers, and pre-test and post-test knowledge assessments using a validated questionnaire. Participants consisted of 21 pregnant mothers and mothers with toddlers, with 7 toddlers undergoing anthropometric examination. Results demonstrated a significant increase in the mean knowledge score from 55.24 (pre-test) to 82.38 (post-test), reflecting an improvement of 27.14 points. Anthropometric examination identified 1 out of 7 toddlers (14.3%) as having poor nutritional status based on the height-for-age index. Beyond measurable knowledge gains, the activity successfully promoted perceptual change among participants, fostered the active role of local health cadres as community change agents, and cultivated collective awareness regarding the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in stunting prevention efforts. It is recommended that posyandu cadres actively sustain the 1,000 HPK counseling program on a continuous basis, and that the institution develop more comprehensive follow-up community service programs in the target area.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between public policy paradoxes, healthcare service quality, access to and continuity of postnatal care, and maternal mortality in Pekalongan Regency. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, involving 30 respondents for quantitative analysis using Spearman correlation tests and 5 key informants for in-depth interviews. The results indicate that policy paradoxes are strongly correlated with service quality and with access and continuity of care. Service quality also shows a robust correlation with access and continuity. All variables are significantly associated with maternal mortality, with access and continuity of care demonstrating the strongest correlation. Qualitative findings reveal implementation gaps in Ministry of Health Regulation No. 21 of 2021, where postnatal visits are often conducted only 2–3 times instead of the mandated four visits, with 10 out of 13 maternal deaths occurring during the postnatal period. The persistence of maternal mortality is attributed to inconsistent implementation of standard operating procedures, high workload, and socio-cultural factors. The study highlights the need to strengthen supervision, enhance human resource capacity, and promote cross-sectoral collaboration to optimize postnatal care services.
