Analysis of the Implementation of Family Learning Centers (PUSPAGA) in Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Family Learning Center (PUSPAGA) in Indonesia. Indonesian family problems are very complex and related to psychosocial issues. Family dysfunction will impact relationship problems between family members, lack of parental control over children's behavior, and a lack of warmth and support between family members. Well-functioning families will impact family well-being. PUSPAGA is a learning center to improve the quality of family life, carried out by professionals through increasing the capacity of parents/persons responsible for children to create affection, attachment, safety, and well-being for the best interests of children, including protection from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect.

The research method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study. The results show that the implementation of PUSPAGA in Indonesia is not optimal because all stakeholders involved have not collaborated well. The Indonesian government, especially the DPPA, has not actively disseminated information about PUSPAGA on social media. As a result, many people do not participate in the PUSPAGA program. In addition, some human resources in PUSPAGA are still untrained, so they are not optimal in providing counseling services.
