Mental health has become one of the critical issues that needs more attention. According to the Ministry of Health's definition, good mental health is a condition where our mind is calm and at peace, allowing us to enjoy everyday life and appreciate the people around us. A person who is mentally healthy can fully utilize their potential to face life's challenges and build positive relationships with others. On the other hand, when one’s mental health is disrupted, they may experience mood disorder, difficulties in thinking, and inability to control emotion, which can lead to negative behaviours.
The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) showed that more than 19 million people aged over 15 years in Indonesia experience emotional mental disorders, and more than 12 million of them experience depression. In addition, data from the Sample Registration System conducted by the Agency for Health Research and Development (Litbangkes) in 2016 recorded that the suicide rate reached 1,800 cases per year or around 5 people per day. From that number, 47.7% of suicide victims were aged 10-39 years old, which is a group of teenagers and productive age.
