In this case, the intended target is refugee children affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru, this activity has been carried out from 6 to 8 December 2021 at the post of each Candipuro District. The media used is "play", because we think this media is the most suitable to be applied to children. Play is a way that children use to solve problems. Such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the natural disaster event of the eruption of Mount Semeru. Children are considered more prone to PTSD because they lack the ability to deal with danger compared to their parents.
