The 2025 Pelita Warna Program is a form of participatory-based community service implemented at the Class II Children's Special Development Institution (LPKA) in Jakarta. This activity aims to design and implement relevant development programs for foster children using a contextual, psychosocial, and vocational skills approach. The main problems behind this activity include minimal access to development that suits the children's needs, limited infrastructure, and psychological challenges faced by foster children. The implementation method begins with observation, needs assessment, coordination with LPKA and partners, program development, and implementation and evaluation. The programs implemented include barbershop training, creative literacy, psychological assistance, and ready-to-work training. Evaluation is carried out formatively and summatively through qualitative and descriptive approaches, using indicators of involvement, attitude change, skill improvement, and foster children's work results. The results of the activity show a significant increase in the foster children's self-confidence, self-awareness, technical skills, and motivation to live independently. This program is considered successful in creating a safe and supportive space that encourages positive transformation among participants. In the future, this model has the potential to be replicated in other institutions as a form of humanistic and sustainable development

 Matra Health is a form of health service specifically designed to maintain and improve public health in dynamic, complex, and constantly changing environmental conditions. This service plays a very vital role, especially in facing and handling various types of disasters, both natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides, as well as non-natural disasters such as residential fires. One form of non-natural disaster that often occurs in densely populated areas is residential fires. This is caused by various factors such as unsafe electrical installations, a lack of public awareness of the dangers of fire, and buildings that are not resistant to heat or fire. Residential fires not only cause physical damage to buildings and infrastructure, but also cause various health problems, ranging from burns, respiratory problems due to smoke exposure, to psychological trauma, especially in vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women. In response to these conditions, a dimensional health intervention activity was carried out from June 23 to 26, 2025 in areas affected by the fires under the coordination of the South Sumatra Regional Crisis Center. This activity aims to reduce health risk factors that arise after the fires through a series of actions such as multi-sector health surveillance, public health education, and distribution of logistical assistance. The activity also includes conducting rapid assessments using the Rapid Health Assessment (RHA) method, providing education on fire impact prevention, and distributing supplementary food to vulnerable groups. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in public understanding of the dangers of fire and the importance of preparedness for its impacts. Furthermore, the need to strengthen cross-sectoral coordination, such as health, disaster management, and social sectors, in disaster management was identified. It is hoped that this activity can serve as a model for strengthening community-based emergency response systems.

Ethics play an important role in the Psychological Assessment process in the realm of Guidance and Counseling, especially in maintaining the rights and welfare of clients. This article highlights two main ethical aspects, namely protecting the confidentiality of assessment results and efforts to maintain objectivity in its implementation. This study uses a literature study approach with a descriptive-qualitative analysis method. Information was collected from various scientific references such as books, journals, and professional guidelines, then analyzed to formulate relevant ethical principles and strategies for implementing them in assessment practice. The findings show that maintaining confidentiality requires a clear understanding of client rights, information boundaries, and secure data management procedures. Meanwhile, obstacles to maintaining objectivity can be overcome through increased competence, utilization of reliable assessment tools, and supervision support. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for counselors in implementing assessments ethically and professionally.
