Mental Health

Anxiety disorder is a mental disorder that causes excessive anxiety and fear. Anxiety disorder inhibits the learning process, resulting in decreased academic performance. However, this disease is not widely understood by the public. Therefore, students of the Informatics Engineering Education study program at the Faculty of Engineering UNY developed a platform that can educate students about anxiety disorder and mental health disorders. The Calmy platform was developed with a superior feature: a Voice Chatbot integrated with Artificial Intelligence as a user story friend and talk therapy.

"The number of UNY retirees is 903 people consisting of 374 lecturers and 529 staff members," said the UNY Retirees Association (IKAPEN) chairman, Dr. Sardiman. With many members, IKAPEN seeks to create work programs that support improving the quality of life of retirees. So far, IKAPEN has carried out workshops and health tests, gymnastics, recreational tours once a year, social services, karawitan exercises, talent search events for older adults, and visits to seniors.
 

At the beginning of this semester, UNY students from the Sociology Education Study Program had the opportunity to receive reinforcement through a webinar with the theme "Becoming a Mentally Healthy and Productive Student, How to Deal with free time, laziness and Toxic Friends?" which held online on January 31, 2022, via zoom.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the quality of physical health and the quality of mental health. The policy of learning from home does not necessarily have a positive impact. Children who typically study and play with their friends directly should study and stay at home. This situation triggered the emergence of boredom and stress in children.
