Smartphone approach is becoming habit to prevent youth violence and degradation mental health

Every country has cases of violence, but the amount and type of violence varies, the biggest being sexual violence in each country. Violence cases in Indonesia have increased significantly in the last 3 years, namely by 20% of cases (431,471 cases in 2019). The occurrence of sexual violence, risky sexual relations, changing partners, will result in the emergence of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) and even have the potential to increase cases of HIV transmission. The Covid-19 pandemic is not over yet, so there are still many cases of other diseases being neglected, including STIs and HIV. There are still many cases of violence that have not been reported, such as the iceberg phenomenon. Based on cases of violence that occur in the realm of Domestic Violence (KDRT), the most prominent violence is physical violence at 43%, followed by sexual violence at 25% and those experiencing psychological violence at 19% and based on economic cases. 13%. Violence cases based on categories in the public/community sphere experienced a fairly large number of victims, namely 58%. Data from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection records that in 2021 alone there were 10,247 new cases of violence experienced by women. Of these, 15.2% of cases involved sexual violence. Cases of sexual violence that occur have the potential to happen again for the perpetrators. If we look closely, HIV transmission is slowly starting to increase, especially cases that occur due to sexual relations with more than one partner and occur more often in young adults aged 17-49 years. This data is in line with the allegation that perpetrators of sexual violence based on education are more likely to be committed by perpetrators who have junior and senior high school education. Perpetrators of sexual violence in the private sphere committed by girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. Many victims who experience sexual violence come from secondary education levels. This problem is also exacerbated by the decline in mental health of today's teenagers. Poor mental health conditions lead to poor behavioral orientation. Throughout Kalimantan Province, the level of sexual violence has increased significantly, supported by an increase in HIV cases in each province in Kalimantan, where the average increase in cases has reached 11%. From HIV case data, it is also known that cases based on age groups occur more frequently in the 15 – 45 year age group. The education provided in schools is not only formal, but learning also needs to be provided regarding the current situation, especially regarding health education and violence. and paralegals as preventive, promotive and curative education as well as mental health. The development of smartphone facilities is exacerbating health problems and poor mental health. Almost all smartphone users use various applications on their cellphones as a habit that cannot be avoided. Most of them are used as examples and cause bad behavior. All information throughout the world can be known with just one hand. However, most smartphone use is not used as an application to provide positive educational direction.

Creating human resources does not only come from formal education. SDGs are the hopes that all countries in the world want to achieve by 2030. One of the SDGs goals, namely quality education (SDGs-4), is one of the hopes that wants to be achieved to ensure equal distribution of quality education and improve learning. opportunities for everyone, ensuring inclusion and fairness. education and lifelong learning opportunities for everyone. However, what is no less important is the SDGs goal, namely quality health creating resources that are physically and spiritually healthy. Providing education through education providers (Schools and Universities) to create quality human resources, but we forget to create, let alone realize, human resources who are healthy, have a good mentality and personality without violence, stigma and discrimination. Producing quality human resources, but poor souls and mental health to continue generations in this world will certainly not last long. Technology will of course continue to develop, especially the use of smartphones which has now become a habit for everyone in carrying out their activities. The use of smartphones needs to be equipped with education that educates the current generation of teenagers. Anti-violence and mental health educational applications need to continue to be displayed on smartphones. This application is not only used to provide education, but also as a place for consultation and communication in emergencies when violence occurs. It is human nature that information that is continuously provided will be embedded in the brain. This is the same as providing conventional educational learning at schools and universities. Through educational applications on smartphones that they always carry, it will have an impact on changing behavior towards non-violence and good mental health. Providing health education applications via smartphone can reduce quite a large amount of costs compared to providing education in the form of mass meetings or through printed books or leaflets/brochures. The use of health education applications can be utilized by school teenagers throughout the world. This application will of course always be updated regularly based on developments and based on culture in each region/region. It is time for the use of health education applications via smartphones to save a generation of teenagers who are anti-violent without stigma and discrimination and have good mental health.

According to the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency, there are as many as 15 million teenagers who are studying at the secondary level. The current situation of children at primary education level is that more than 50% have used smartphones by their parents to obtain information. Both in the realm of games and in video as well as information and other applications on the smartphone. The use of smartphones for children exploded during the Covid-19 pandemic, and there was even a demand for (must have) the use of this technology so that it could be used for online learning. It is certain that the use of smartphones can distort their use and even accidentally appear applications that have a negative influence on these children. Currently, it can be said that there is a potential emergency for violence and poor mental health for the world's next generation of children. It is important for children in the secondary education period (aged 10-19 years) to be provided with education about anti-violence and mental health. At this age, the development of character formation, including physical, emotional and cognitive changes, is very significant. They even tend to seek self-identity and seek superior recognition from their peer group. The provision of educational materials at school is predominantly conventional learning materials such as; scientific educational materials, number calculations, natural knowledge, biology and other scientific materials. It touches very little and does not even provide material about anti-violence and mental health. Most of this education is only used as educational appeals or campaigns during certain events or times. Therefore, it is very important to provide anti-violence and mental health educational material to teenagers simultaneously, especially via smartphone so that they are not burdened with the formal education they receive from school. In fact, these teenagers will get information and even need guidance and direction other than their parents. Health education via smartphone does not only provide informational material, but the application enables the application to become a forum for consultation as well as a place for guidance and seeking protection if a teenager experiences problems with bullying, violence or even poor mental health. One thing that must be understood in this program is that creating professional human resources is not only about being smart in terms of science, but mental and mental health is very bad. It is hoped that this program will be able to have an impact on the beneficiaries, not only school teenagers but also impact teachers, children who cannot afford to go to school and children who are experiencing problems with the law so that they can be coached and reported.

So far, the HTF program has been dominant in providing educational support, mentoring and training activities to groups at risk of contracting HIV and communities living with HIV. This is strengthened because of financial support from donors which puts more pressure on the beneficiaries directly. Limited funding for program development has not been implemented optimally. If you look closely, the HTF program focuses more on curative treatment for people affected by this problem (especially those infected with HIV), but is very lacking in implementing prevention programs. What must be done if you want to reduce infection and the spread of disease is to stop breaking the chain from the beginning of the source of the problem. This is what the current HTF program needs to prioritize, namely an emphasis on early prevention programs. The YHT program has not directly touched on education about violence (emotional, physical, sexual, etc.) or mental health. However, there are several administrators with professional YHT Human Resources backgrounds who are sometimes invited to be resource persons in providing education related to reproductive health and public health among teenagers/students at universities and in community groups. HTF has limited resources to carry out activity programs for community groups, especially marginalized groups and survivors. Therefore, HTF actively seeks funding support from both national and international donors. Programs that have been implemented over the last 4 years are (1) Caring Response to Overcome Stigma and Discrimination among HIV-AIDS Sufferers through the Central Kalimantan Province Interfaith Forum (2019-2020) which is supported by the Niwano Peace Foundation; (2) HTF took place with several local NGOs to raise funds, food ingredients and Personal Protective Equipment to help Health workers, PLHIV and other marginalized communities affected by Covid-19 socially and economically (2020); (3) Towards Empowered, Productive and Independent PLWHA in Kalimantan (2021-2022) supported by Gilead Inc. Thanks to the support of several international donors, especially Gilead Inc. HTF can be a reference information for individuals, government/private institutions, marginalized communities, especially Peer Support Groups. HTF is also aware of the lack of Human Resources who understand the latest technology. Therefore, the implementation of this program is certainly not only limited to Personal HTF, but will involve professional staff in the field, especially those who understand computer-based program application technology with smartphones. HTF personnel are practitioners, researchers and activists, especially in the health sector. Here there is no need to doubt his ability to analyze phenomena and as a data-based conceptor of community health programs. However, it still has limitations, especially in terms of technology which is developing so rapidly. With partners from government and private institutions as well as educational institutions, can collaborate together to support every program run by HTF.

So far, the YHT Program has not directly touched on education about violence (emotional, physical, sexual, etc.) or mental health. However, there are several administrators with professional YHT Human Resources backgrounds who are sometimes invited to be resource persons in providing education related to reproductive health and public health among teenagers/students at universities and in community groups. YHT is not yet able to have its own income to run activity programs for community groups, especially marginalized groups and survivors. Therefore, YHT actively seeks funding support from both national and international donors. However, there are several administrators with professional YHT Human Resources backgrounds who are sometimes invited to be resource persons in providing education related to reproductive health and public health among teenagers/students at universities and in community groups. Apart from that, HTF has become a reference center for information, education and assistance for community groups at risk of contracting HIV and for marginalized communities and young people, especially people with HIV.

As previously explained, the HTF activity program still hopes for proposals for support from donors, especially international donors. So far, local and national government institutions or the private sector have never provided support for the HTF program. Donor support provided by HTF has a short period of 1 year with no opportunity for project extension. HTF realizes that this institution is still small in scale, only accepting a small number of donors. because if you want to get medium and large donors, you definitely have very complete requirements. Currently HTF still has shortcomings in terms of management, especially regarding independent audits, because carrying out independent audits requires quite large costs. Meanwhile, currently we are very limited in carrying out operations in our own office, considering that the staff working at HTF is still project-based only. However, this does not dampen HFT's intention to provide information and support to marginalized groups and communities that we build as grassroots partners. HTF really hopes for support from donors who are willing to achieve maximum goals. Therefore, HTF continues to look for international donors who are of course aligned and have the same vision to achieve humanitarian goals. HTF has long had information about SOLVE, and even linked information via HTF emails. There are many opportunities announced by SOLVE, however due to limited HFT personnel it is an obstacle to exploring and preparing complete applications provided by SOLVE. HTF really hopes that through trust and support, SOLVE will be able to bring this organization to receive support from various partners and provide the desired support so that in the future HTF is able to be independent without seeking donor support for each of its programs. HTF still has the burden of running the program, namely the goal of having a special clinic for risk groups, especially HIV and TB and other sexually transmitted diseases. Apart from that, we hope to have a halfway house for individuals and victims of violence, which is currently not available. Because HTF finds many cases, for example there are people who were expelled from their workplace or family without temporary shelter.

The experience of the HTF program in assisting and becoming a center for health information, especially for individuals and groups who have a high risk of transmitting STIs and HIV, has experienced a significant shift in behavior, especially. This is reinforced by the shift in HIV transmission patterns in Indonesia. HIV transmission began in 1990 and was more contagious to gay people, and as time passed in 2000 and transmission increased among female sex workers, including transgender people. Currently (in 2024) transmission is actually increasing again in gay, lesbian and transgender groups. This is where changes in the behavioral orientation of women and men occur. Sexual orientation is everyone's personal right, but healthy sexual behavior is an important thing that needs to be implemented. The solution to emphasize Health Education starting from the younger generation is very important, this must be balanced with current developments, especially the rapid development of technology. As stated at the beginning, it is very useless for us to provide formal education to create quality human resources but not for very poor mental health, soul and personality. This will create more young generations of psychopaths who have problems with violence, stigma and discrimination as well as poor mental health. Technology will of course continue to develop, the use of smartphones has now become a habit for everyone in carrying out their activities. It's time for every person and organization to care about saving the younger generation by keeping up with technological developments, starting with the use of smartphones, which need to be equipped with education that educates the current generation of teenagers. It is hoped that smartphone companies and application providers will not only generate financial profits, but are also expected to be able to provide education about health which is currently moving in a far deviant direction. Providing smartphones with applications for health education on anti-violence and mental health will continue to stick in their brains and have an impact on changing behavior towards anti-violence and good mental health. Apart from that, smart phone-based health education can reduce costs quite significantly compared to providing education in the form of mass meetings or through printed books or leaflets/brochures. The use of health education applications can be utilized by school teenagers throughout the world.

The use of smartphones by children has boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic, and there is even demand (of course there is) for the use of this technology so that it can be used for online learning. It is certain that the use of smartphones can distort their use and even accidentally appear applications that have a negative influence on these children. As long as the HTF program helps treatment programs for STI and HIV risk groups, there is a change in the behavior of the younger generation. This is exacerbated by the explosion in the use of smartphones and applications, causing changes in the behavior of the younger generation to increase. Currently, it can be said that there is a potential emergency for violence and poor mental health for the world's next generation of children. To create quality human resources, it is not enough to simply provide educational materials in schools as formal education that is conventional learning. Therefore, it is very important to provide anti-violence and mental health educational materials to teenagers simultaneously, especially via smartphones so that they are not burdened by the formal education they receive at school. In fact, these teenagers will receive information and even need guidance and direction other than from their parents. Health education via smartphone does not just provide informational material, but this application can be a forum for consultation as well as a forum for guidance and protection if a teenager experiences problems with bullying, violence or even poor mental health. Incorporating anti-violence and mental health educational material via smartphone as part of providing continuous formal learning will restore the behavior of teenagers to become dignified human beings, physically and spiritually healthy.

There have been many changes in the behavior of today's young generation. This is further strengthened by the use of smartphones which has now become a habit in carrying out all activities. Developing when the Covid-19 Pandemic hit the whole world. The use of smartphones needs to be equipped with education that educates the current generation of teenagers.

Therefore, the main aim of this program is to save the younger generation from violent behavior and declining mental health by providing health education through the use of applications on smartphones. Providing health education applications via smartphone can reduce costs significantly compared to providing education in the form of mass meetings or through printed books or leaflets/brochures. The use of health education applications can be utilized by school teenagers throughout the world. This application will of course always be updated regularly based on developments and based on culture in each region.

The targets in this program are:

• Adolescents attending junior high and high school levels, especially throughout Kalimantan Province
• Adolescents (15-19 years) who have dropped out of school, especially throughout Kalimantan Province.
• Teenagers who have problems with the law, especially throughout Kalimantan Province.

The indicators in this program are:

• More than 75% of teenagers attending junior high and high school levels, especially throughout Kalimantan Province, access anti-violence and mental health education applications via smartphone.
• More than 75% of teenagers (15-19 years) who have dropped out of school receive education via smartphone applications from parents, siblings or friends, especially throughout Kalimantan Province.
• More than 75% of teenagers who have problems with the law receive education via smartphone applications from parents, detention center officers, especially throughout Kalimantan Province.

It is time for the use of health education applications via smartphones to save a generation of non-violent teenagers without stigma and discrimination and with good mental health.

Technology will continue to develop, especially the use of smartphones which has now become a habit for everyone in carrying out their activities. Especially when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the whole world, using a smartphone was very necessary. Nowadays it is very important to have a smartphone to help with everything. However, it has a huge negative impact if the information in this technology is misused. Especially for today's teenagers, if they don't have supervision and understanding in using smartphones, it will have a bad impact on them. Therefore, this project will prioritize the use of smartphones to provide anti-violence and mental health education for youth. This must and needs to continue to be conveyed through applications on smartphones as smartphone-based health education. This educational approach is the same as providing education to teenagers in conventional formal schools, only this educational approach continues to be provided via smartphones. It is not only used to provide education, but also as a place for consultation and communication in emergencies when violence occurs. It is human nature that if information is continuously provided, it will become a habit and be embedded in our memory every time we carry out any activity.

HFT is a small institution that does not have its own funding, and there is still no donor support in its sustainability program. Therefore, daily office operations only rely on 1 staff member and the HFT chairman. Apart from that, HFT is also supported by volunteers from marginalized communities and survivors, especially HIV sufferers. However, if there is donor support, more employees will be involved in carrying out operational activities at the HFT office.

The HFT program is currently running as a reference center for information and assistance for high-risk individuals and groups as well as PLWHA through a very simple website, especially in Central Kalimantan. regarding this project solution, it cannot yet be implemented, because there is no funding support, but this solution becomes input for HFT in every discussion with work partners and related stakeholders.

In carrying out HFT office operations, we still hope for support from Donors. Without donor support, so far the HTF has been run directly by the HFT Chair and assisted by 1 permanent staff member in the field of Finance and Administration. Apart from that, HFT is also supported by colleagues from marginalized communities and survivors, especially PLWHA. Every time there is donor support there will of course be additional personnel for that support. In recruiting new staff, HFT will prioritize staff from marginalized groups such as HIV sufferers who are still productive, from transgender groups and single parent groups. So far, new recruitment for HFT employees does not depend on the quantity of education, but rather on understanding work teams, experience in group communication, without sigma and discrimination and even a little understanding of the use of computerized technology. HTF did this because there are still many of them who need work, besides that they have enthusiasm and are willing to learn in office organizations and help their colleagues. However, if someone needs expert and competent staff in a special field, of course job vacancies will be opened based on separate criteria, especially understanding stigma and discrimination.

HTF does not have a business to support its activities and operations. To run office operations, HTF still relies on donations from management and other individuals, while continuing to seek financial support from international donors through calls for proposals.

HTF is still a small institution, financially unable to build a business to support HFT programs and operational activities. However, HTf has the enthusiasm to be financially capable and has sufficient resources to build its business. Therefore, HFT has a short-term goal, namely building shelters and health clinics for marginalized communities and groups at high risk of sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and other diseases. We really hope for support from international donors to make this happen. With this business, we are able to carry out every operational activity and HFT program while also being able to help every underprivileged community in undergoing tests and are exposed to stigma and discrimination. The long term, HFT also aspires to build a specialist hospital specifically for post-traumatic and stroke rehabilitation for marginalized groups and public. This business is very promising, especially in Kalimantan, because a special hospital like this still doesn't exist and is very necessary for the community. HTF has studied this for opportunities as part of HTF's efforts to become independent. Apart from that, this business can be a support for every individual from marginalized groups who needs work and protection.
