Abstract

Abuse of narcotics, psychotropics, and other addictive substances (NARCOTICS) is a serious threat to teenagers and has the potential to disrupt national resilience. Teenagers are in a developmental phase that is vulnerable to negative environmental influences, so they need appropriate preventive interventions. This community service activity aims to form and assist anti-drug and juvenile delinquency cadres at SMP Negeri 1 Singosari, Malang Regency. The methods used include socialization, interactive counselling, group discussions, visualization of drug impacts through illustrations, and pre-test and post-test evaluation. The activity was attended by 35 selected students and showed a significant increase in knowledge and understanding related to the impacts of drugs. This program is effective in fostering students’ awareness, positive attitudes, and commitment as drug abuse prevention agents in the school environment and community.
