Pendampingan Psikologis Masyarakat Melalui Karakter Islami Pada Badan Pusat Kecemerlangan Diri Negeri Sembilan Malaysia

Abstract

This community engagement program was carried out at the Badan Pusat
Kecemerlangan Diri (BPKD) in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, with the aim
of strengthening the psychological resilience of the local community through the
internalization of Islamic character values. The main problems identified include low
psychological resilience, limited cultivation of Islamic character in daily life, lack of
Islamic-based psychological mentoring programs, limited capacity of facilitators
within BPKD, and the weak integration of spiritual and psychological aspects in
character education. To address these issues, the program implemented a
structured Islamic-based psychological mentoring model through psychoeducation
grounded in Islamic values, training of local facilitators, development of a psychosspiritual mentoring module, reflective classes and group guidance, communitybased learning groups, and systematic monitoring and evaluation. The results
showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in emotional and
stress management, increased awareness of the importance of self-control and
patience, understanding of the concepts of tawakkul and riḍā in facing life pressures,
and the emergence of daily practices that reinforce honesty, responsibility, and
empathy. In addition to enhancing the psychological well-being and spiritual
awareness of the participants, the program also empowered local facilitators to
independently continue the mentoring activities on an ongoing basis. Furthermore,
this initiative helped strengthen the role of BPKD as a community-based institution
that supports psychological and spiritual development through Islamic character
education.
