| Abstrak/Abstract |
Awareness about mental health in Indonesia in the past decade has led to an increased understanding of college students who experience mental health problems getting psychological or psychiatric treatment during the study process at the university. The most significant gap in the education system at the university level in Indonesia is in the counseling handling system, one of which is the presence of counselor, especially counselor lecturers. This study uses autoethnography, a collection of personal reflection stories while accompanying several college students with mental health problems, including some experiencing depression with suicidal attempts. First, this study concludes that the presence of psychologists in the faculty environment has a positive impact on increasing mental health awareness. Second, the ethics of psychology causes students to experience alienation without being noticed by peers and teachers. They are hidden populations marginalized by the social situation and policies at the university level. Third, counselor lecturers need to be massively reformulated in the university education system in Indonesia, whose role is to ensure learning resilience, ability to attend classes and complete assignments, social skills with peers, advocacy at institutions, and mediation for families and health institutions.
