Flood disasters that struck Cikahuripan Village significantly affected the physical, psychological, and learning motivation conditions of elementary school students, particularly at SD N 1 Cikahuripan. In the post-disaster period, students experienced a decline in learning motivation caused by psychological trauma, loss of a sense of security, and limited learning facilities. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PkM) aimed to restore students’ psychological conditions while strengthening their learning motivation through an integrated psychosocial and pedagogical approach. The implementation methods included an initial assessment of students’ conditions, trauma healing activities based on play therapy, and the application of Fun Learning methods combined with the “Tree of Dreams” activity to rebuild students’ intrinsic motivation. The program was conducted from 15 to 22 November 2025 and involved 31 elementary school students as well as teachers as sustainability partners. The evaluation results showed significant positive changes, indicated by increased cheerfulness, active participation, confidence in social interaction, and improved learning focus among students. In addition, teachers’ capacity to implement trauma-sensitive teaching practices also improved. This program demonstrates that post-disaster learning motivation recovery requires a holistic approach integrating psychological and academic recovery, and it has the potential to serve as a replicable model for educational interventions in disaster-prone areas.

Pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa bukan berarti mengajar masyarakat tentang sesuatu yang terbaik untuk mereka, tetapi melakukan pemberdayaan sebagai sebuah proses pencarian (research) yang dilakukan bersamasama untuk mencari jalan terbaik dalam penyelesaikan persoalan yang mereka hadapi. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa trauma healing yang dilakukan pada anak-anak adalah untuk menurunkan tingkat kecemasan dan mengembalikan kondisi emosional anak-anak pasca bencana, agar dapat membantu semangat kembali seperti sebelum adanya bencana yang terjadi dengan berbagai macam permainan yang dilakukan baik individu maupun kelompok serta pemberian materi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan karakteristik pada diri anak. Adapun pelaksanaan trauma healing menggunakan metode Participatory Rapit Appraisal (PRA) atau penilaian desa secara partisipatif yang dilakukan melalui berbagai kegiatan seperti observasi, survei dan wawancara.
