Kebakaran merupakan keadaan darurat yang dapat menimbulkan kerugian besar bagi manusia maupun sarana institusi. Risiko tersebut juga terdapat di lingkungan perguruan tinggi yang memiliki aktivitas padat dan penggunaan alat listrik serta bahan mudah terbakar. Berdasarkan hasil pemantauan LLDikti Wilayah I Sumatera Utara, masih banyak perguruan tinggi swasta yang belum memiliki pelatihan rutin tentang penggunaan Alat Pemadam Api Ringan (APAR). Untuk menanggapi hal tersebut, tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat melaksanakan kegiatan “Workshop dan Simulasi Penggunaan APAR sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Kesadaran dan Kompetensi K3 di Lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi Swasta LLDikti Wilayah I Sumatera Utara”. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada Kamis, 30 Oktober 2025 di Institut Kesehatan Deli Husada Deli Tua. Pelatihan diikuti oleh 150 peserta, terdiri atas 100 perwakilan dari 50 perguruan tinggi swasta serta 50 staf dan karyawan LLDikti Wilayah I. Kegiatan dibagi menjadi dua tahap, yaitu penyampaian teori tentang konsep dasar kebakaran dan penggunaan APAR, serta simulasi praktik pemadaman api secara langsung di lapangan. Penilaian dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test untuk mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan peserta setelah pelatihan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan 87% pada aspek pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan keselamatan kerja. Peserta menjadi lebih memahami prosedur penggunaan APAR, lebih disiplin dalam menjaga keamanan, serta lebih tanggap terhadap risiko kebakaran di tempat kerja maupun di kampus. Secara umum, kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran dan keterampilan peserta terhadap pentingnya penerapan Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) di lingkungan pendidikan tinggi. Pelatihan ini juga mendorong terbentuknya budaya aman dan tanggap darurat di kalangan sivitas akademika. Diharapkan para peserta dapat menjadi penggerak utama dalam menyebarluaskan pengetahuan keselamatan kerja, sehingga kampus di wilayah LLDikti I dapat menjadi lingkungan yang lebih aman, siaga, dan berkelanjutan.

Mental health is an integral component of overall health that affects individuals’ social, emotional, and productive functioning. However, mental health literacy in the community remains relatively low, as indicated by limited understanding of mental health concepts, early signs of psychological problems, strategies for maintaining mental well-being, and the importance of seeking appropriate help. This condition may reinforce stigma and hinder promotive and preventive efforts in the community. This community service program aimed to improve mental health literacy through community-based psychological education. The program was implemented using an educational and participatory approach consisting of four stages: preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. The activities included health education sessions, interactive discussions, simple simulations, and community assistance. The evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests, observation of participants’ involvement, and participant feedback. The expected outcomes included improved public knowledge of mental health, increased ability to identify early signs of psychological problems, reduced stigma, and greater awareness of maintaining mental well-being and accessing appropriate support services. The indicators of success were reflected in the implementation of activities as planned, active participant engagement, and improved participants’ understanding after attending the program.
