Despite recently\nlosing their homes in the fire, dozens of child survivors\nenthusiastically participated in psychosocial support and trauma healing\nservices organised by the Jakarta Provincial Social Affairs Office\n(Dinsos DKI Jakarta). At the second floor of Al-Hikmah Mosque, they were\nengaged in group singing, light quizzes, drawing, and discussions with\nstaff about their hobbies and aspirations. The activities were designed\nto divert children\u2019s attention from their recent traumatic experiences.\nIra Ayu Puspita, head of the Social Disaster Victim Protection Subgroup\n(PSKBS) at Dinsos DKI Jakarta, said the psychosocial support services\nwere specifically targeted at child survivors of the fire. \u2018The\npsychosocial support services focus on children. Activities include\ngroup singing, light quizzes, and drawing,\u2019 Ira told Kompas.com at the\nevacuation site on Friday afternoon. Ira added that the methods used\nwere tailored to the children\u2019s age groups, from primary to junior high\nschool. Fifty child survivors participated in the session, which began\nat 2:30 PM WIB. She expressed hope that the psychosocial services would\nhelp the children recover from their trauma and regain their\ncheerfulness while awaiting the restoration of their homes. The trauma\nhealing team was warmly received by the parents of survivors. Among them\nwas Feni, 46, who expressed relief seeing her child playing and\ninteracting with friends again despite still being in the evacuation\nshelter. \u2018Alhamdulillah, I\u2019m happy. My child has been playing with\nfriends since morning. The teacher visited earlier, and now Dinsos staff\nare joining in the fun,\u2019 said Feni. Feni noted that while children may\nappear cheerful on the surface, they often harbour unseen fears and\ntrauma.<\/p>",
