Thank you for the question, dr. Mirah Rejeki, in combating the Merapi eruption we
have provided assistance for the past two years by conducting contingency planning
(including in the field of psychology) and previous simulations. To restore psychology,
we are trying to provide psychological assistance with a team of psychologists. In the
refugee camp, we try to carry out daily activities like in the village of origin
currently in the refugee camp, the psychosocial problem is not that serious because it
has been given previous socialization (alert status has also been two years). currently
experiencing boredom and we provide assistance such as studying, playing and honing
skills.
