The method used is counseling or conveying information about stunting with lectures and questions and answers. The procedure for preparatory activities is in the form of coordination with related parties in Beringin Village. Implementation in the form of counseling begins with apperception, then explanation of the material, questions and answers. Extension media used in the form of banners and leaflets. Evaluation procedure using the post test sheet. The evaluation results showed that 63.9% of residents had good knowledge about stunting.
