The entire population of Nagari Kampung Baru, Pesisir Selatan Regency, participated in this program with the broader goal of establishing a healthy and prosperous model village. The results derived from this program unequivocally demonstrate the effectiveness of the Strength-Based Community Response approach in improving individual psychological functioning while simultaneously stimulating the development of underutilized community resources. Participants engaged in these activities experienced a significant increase in their subjective well-being levels. Furthermore, they reported substantial improvements in self-awareness, social relationships, and their perception of their ability to control their personal lives.
