The service is a proactive measure to ensure that mental health\nissues, especially among children and students, are addressed promptly.\nThrough this service, residents of Central Java no longer need to fear\nor feel ashamed when consulting about mental health.<\/p>\n
This service can be accessed via the JNN Ext 2 application. Operating\nfrom Monday to Thursday between 11:00 and 13:00 WIB, and Friday from\n10:00 to 12:00 WIB, the service is supported by professional\npsychologists from eight hospitals owned by the Central Java Provincial\nGovernment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a form of free online psychological consultation service\nthat can be accessed by everyone in the community,\u201d said the Governor of\nCentral Java, Ahmad Luthfi, in a statement on Friday (3\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
He made this announcement during the launch of \u2018Logis\u2019 at the Central\nJava Provincial Health Office in Semarang yesterday.<\/p>\n
In addition to involving psychologists, the service also involves the\nMinistry of Religious Affairs and the Education Office to reach children\nand students experiencing psychological issues, ranging from stress to\nbullying.<\/p>\n
Luthfi stated that the service is provided online and managed by\nprofessionals. He noted that the programme is part of the government\u2019s\neffort to proactively address mental health issues within the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
According to him, many psychological issues have previously only\nreceived attention after becoming public cases. \u201cHowever, with this free\npsychological service, it is hoped that those seeking help can be\nprotected regarding the issues they face,\u201d said Luthfi.<\/p>\n
In his directive, Luthfi also requested that the service be\nsocialised in schools, including through anti-bullying or \u2018zero\nbullying\u2019 campaigns.<\/p>\n
Based on data from the Central Java Provincial Health Office, as of\nthe first quarter of 2026, 2.13 million adults have participated in\nmental health screenings through the Free Health Check Programme.\nMeanwhile, approximately 14,600 people with mental disorders are\nreceiving treatment at community health centres (Puskesmas).<\/p>\n
The Head of the Central Java Provincial Health Office, Zulfachmi\nWahab, stated that the Free Online Psychologist Service is a flagship\nprogramme of the Central Java Provincial Government in the health\nsector, following the \u2018Doctor on the Move\u2019 (Spelling) programme. The\nprogramme was introduced to overcome barriers related to distance, time,\nand the social stigma surrounding mental health services.<\/p>\n
He explained that despite the high number of mental health-related\ncases, only a small number seek treatment. Therefore, this service is\nexpected to serve as an initial gateway for early detection through\nonline consultation.<\/p>\n
In the future, if indications of a condition leading to a medical\nnecessity are found, officers can follow up with home visits. \u201cThe\npresence of this service is to address constraints of distance, time,\nand the feeling of shame or stigma. The service is conducted privately,\nlike a psychological consultation. If a medical indication is found, we\nwill conduct home visits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, Luthfi also handed over one ambulance unit to\nthe All Indonesia Fishermen\u2019s Association (HNSI) of Kendal Regency. He\nnoted that an ambulance is a vital facility for communities in coastal\nand seaside areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are providing an ambulance to the fishermen. This is a form of\naccelerating health services for the community, specifically for\nfishermen,\u201d said Luthfi.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Kendal Regency HNSI DPC, Triyono, said\nthe ambulance would be utilised to assist fishermen experiencing\nemergencies, whether due to illness or death.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this ambulance, we hope to reduce the burden on fishermen. If\nsomeone falls ill or passes away, at least they can be assisted,\u201d\nexpressed Triyono.<\/p>\n
Triyono added that, until now, fishermen in Kendal did not have their\nown ambulance, meaning every emergency required coordination with a\nhospital. \u201cWhen an incident occurs, we have to communicate with the\nhospital in Kendal Regency first. We still have to wait, and that has\nbeen our obstacle so far,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/central-java-government-launches-logis-free-online-psychological-consultation-service-1783048811", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
