ABSTRACT

Drug abuse affects all groups regardless of whether they are highly educated, professional, unemployed, or uneducated. This drug prevention skills activity module contains five skills, namely problem-solving skills, personality problem-solving skills, healthy lifestyle skills, self-adjustment skills, and stress management skills. Each skill is equipped with at least five activities to enable users of this module to gain skills and be able to apply them in their lives. This module provides benefits to prospective counselors and trainees because, from this activity, the trainees can understand the overall summary of the activities that have been carried out. It is hoped that this module is beneficial and can be applied to increase awareness of drug abuse in families and communities in this country.
