Pendampingan Upaya Pencegahan Tindak Kekerasan (Stop Bullying)

Abstract

This community service activity aims to conduct socialization and mentoring programs for the prevention of acts of violence (anti-bullying) at TPQ Nurul Hidayah, Bulusari Village, Kedungwaru District, Tulungagung Regency. The background of this program stems from the growing concern about violence in educational environments, including non-formal institutions such as TPQ, which can negatively affect children’s psychological, social, and spiritual development. The implementation involved several strategic steps, including preliminary observation, socialization of the forms and impacts of bullying, the establishment of a safe reporting system, and continuous mentoring for students, teachers, and parents. The approach was based on psychosocial theory, social learning theory, behaviorism, and the principles of restorative justice, integrated with Islamic values to strengthen participants’ character and moral awareness. The results show a significant increase in understanding and awareness among all stakeholders regarding the importance of early prevention of violence, the creation of a safer and more comfortable learning environment, and the growth of empathy and social responsibility among students. In addition, the program enhanced the role of teachers in detecting and managing potential acts of violence within the learning environment. Therefore, this community service activity serves as a concrete step in building an educational culture rooted in justice, moral integrity, and non-violence, and it can serve as a replicable model for other Islamic educational institutions.
