Banda Aceh - The disaster of floods and landslides may have left grief, but the spirit to rise again continues to be nurtured. The National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) of Aceh Province is moving quickly to ensure that the health of families and the psychosocial well-being of residents in Aceh Tamiang Regency is maintained during this recovery period.
For BKKBN, post-disaster recovery is not only about the physical building, but also about strengthening the resilience of the smallest "foundation" of the community, namely the family.
Psychosocial Support: Removing the Trauma of the Little One
One of the main focuses of this action is the mental recovery of children affected by flash floods. Through psychosocial assistance, the BKKBN team is present to:
Provide a sense of security and emotional support.
Helping children process the trauma of disasters.
Restore cheerfulness through warm and humanistic interactions.
"We hope that children can get through the impact of this disaster with the right emotional support, so that they feel protected," said the Head of the Aceh Provincial BKKBN Representative, Safrina Salim.
Inclusive Reproductive Health Services
Health services do not stop at general treatment. BKKBN targets vulnerable groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, and fertile couples in several villages, including Lubuk Sidup Village, Tualang Cut Baro, to temporary housing in Simpang Empat Village.
Education on Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (MKJP) is a crucial material. Why is this important in disaster areas?
Preventing Unwanted Pregnancy: In the midst of limited post-disaster facilities, pregnancy planning helps maintain maternal health.
Reproductive Health Protection: Ensuring women's health rights are still met even in emergency conditions.
Family Independence: Provide space for parents to focus on economic recovery without additional worries.
In addition to education, BKKBN also handed over contraceptives to the local Family Planning Regional Device Organization (OPD-KB) to ensure the availability of service stocks for residents.
Looking at the Future Better
The steps taken by BKKBN in Aceh Tamiang are a tangible form of the state's presence in the basic health aspect. By providing comprehensive understanding and psychological support, it is hoped that the community will not only recover physically, but also have a new spirit to organize a more planned life.
Through this synergy, BKKBN Aceh proves that a healthy and planned family is the main key to rising from difficult times.
