Jakarta, June 18th, 2022 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) held a talk show Health Heroes Project: Youth Power 2022 via online media as part of its Health CSR program (UTCARE). The Health Heroes Program is a collaboration between the UT Youth Movement healthy youth cadre community and the Community Service Division of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Padjajaran University’s Faculty of Medicine (FK). The goal of this program is to raise awareness and knowledge among Indonesian high school/vocational high school students about the importance of mental health, particularly in stress management in everyday life.
Adaptation to pandemic conditions and changes in student learning methods have an impact on mental health, particularly among adolescent students, who require a lot of activity with friends and school activities at their age. Many teenagers experience feelings of disappointment, anxiety, emotional disturbances, and depression as a result of this abrupt change in circumstances. The importance of education and assistance from a variety of sources in helping adolescents understand that their anxiety is normal and providing guidance on how to manage their anxiety and stress so it can be effective and let them be productive without sacrificing gratitude and happiness. “To love others, we must first love ourselves,” said the speaker, dr. Elvine Gunawan, Sp.KJ, Psychiatrist, who encouraged the participants to believe in themselves and respect their own values in any situation.
UT hopes to improve the knowledge and health of assisted youth through the Health Heroes Project Collaboration program, and to encourage the UT Youth Movement community movement to collaborate with agencies to provide education in order to improve the health status of Indonesian youth.
On the other hand, UTCARE is a form of UT’s real contribution to the nation’s and Indonesia’s growth. UT believes in the importance of safeguarding the country’s future by paying attention to the mental health of Indonesian youth. UT’s commitment to contribute to Indonesia’s growth by creating sustainable added value will also continue to be present.
“Not only UTCARE, our commitment to creating a better future for Indonesian people through the implementation of ESG is also present in the UTREES, UTFUTURE, UTGROWTH, and UTACTION programs,” said Meyta Hutapea (UTCare Leader).
