Cultural Wisdom in Counseling Practice: Reframing Counseling Through Local Cultural Wisdom
This paper proposes the Cultural Wisdom Integration Framework (CWIF) as a conceptual model for reframing counseling practice through Indigenous epistemologies. While contemporary counseling has advanced through evidence-based and multicultural approaches, it remains largely grounded in Western individualistic paradigms, often overlooking culturally embedded ways of knowing. This limitation is particularly evident in non-Western and collectivist societies, where relational, communal, and spiritual dimensions shape individuals’ experiences of distress and healing. Drawing on Indigenous psychology, multicultural counseling theory, and cultural epistemology, this paper argues that cultural wisdom should be positioned not merely as contextual adaptation but as a foundational source of knowledge in counseling. The proposed CWIF consists of three interrelated layers: ontological (relational understandings of the self), epistemological (culture-based sources of knowledge), and praxis (implementation through culturally attuned, relational, and community-engaged practices). The framework offers a structured approach to integrating Indigenous values into counseling processes, emphasizing meaning co-construction, relational healing, and community involvement. The paper concludes by discussing theoretical implications, practical applications, and directions for future empirical validation. This work contributes to ongoing efforts to decolonize counseling and to develop more culturally responsive global mental health practices.

Identity, Purpose, and Mental Health: Tawheed vs Secular Humanistic Counselling
The growing prevalence of mental health challenges, particularly those related to identity, purpose, and existential anxiety, has highlighted limitations in dominant counselling paradigms. Secular humanistic counselling emphasizes self-actualization, autonomy, and subjective meaning-making. While these approaches offer valuable therapeutic tools, they often lack a stable and transcendent framework for identity and purpose. This paper examines Tawheed, the Islamic concept of the Oneness of Allah, as a comprehensive model for psychological wellbeing. Using a comparative analytical approach, the study contrasts Tawheed-based counselling with secular humanistic approaches in terms of identity formation, purpose, emotional regulation, and coping mechanisms. Drawing upon Qur’anic verses, authentic hadith, and contemporary psychological literature, the paper argues that Tawheed provides a stable, objective, and spiritually grounded framework that addresses both psychological and existential dimensions of mental health. Practical implications for integrating Tawheed principles into counselling practice are also discussed.

Between Ideality and Reality: An Analysis of The Challenges of Developing Cross-Cultural Counselor Competencies in The Context of Tepa Selira Values in Javanese Culture
Cross-cultural competence is an essential ability that counselors must possess in order to provide effective counseling services for clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. However, in practice, the development of this competence still faces various challenges, such as counselors' limited cultural understanding and the lack of integration of local cultural values ​​in counselor education and training processes. This study aims to analyze the challenges in developing counselors' cross-cultural competence in the context of the true values ​​within Javanese culture. This study employed a literature review method by examining various relevant scientific sources concerning counselors' cross-cultural competence and the value of tepa selira. The findings indicate that the value of tepa selira has strong relevance in supporting the development of counselors' cross-cultural competence because it embodies empathy, respect for others, and cultural sensitivity. The integration of tepa selira values ​​can serve as a strategy to strengthen counselors' competence so that counseling services become more contextual, culturally sensitive, and responsive to clients' needs.

Social Media Addiction Among Generation Z: Psychological Impacts and the Role of Guidance and Counseling as an Intervention Strategy (Systematic Literature Review)
Social media addiction among Generation Z has become an urgent issue with multidimensional impacts on psychological well-being, academic performance, and the quality of social interactions. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, synthesizing 20 reputable articles sourced from Google Scholar (via the Publish or Perish application) and the SINTA portal, published between 2020 and 2026. The thematic analysis yielded three main findings: (1) addiction is driven by internal mechanisms such as social comparison, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and dependence on digital validation, which are exacerbated by peer pressure and the platforms’ algorithmic design; (2) addiction causes multidimensional impacts including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, emotional exhaustion, decreased academic performance, and weakened face-to-face interactions; and (3) school Guidance and Counseling (BK) services that combine individual counseling, group counseling, and time management training have proven effective when supported by active collaboration between counselors, teachers, and parents. This study focuses on three main areas: factors influencing social media addiction, the resulting impacts, and interventions that can be implemented through Guidance and Counseling (BK) services. In other words, this study not only examines the existing problems but also offers solutions through the roles of counselors, teachers, and parents in helping adolescents manage their social media use in a healthier way.

BEHIND THE ‘FOR YOU’ Factors Contributing to Adolescent Anxiety in TikTok Use and Their Implications For Counselling Service Intervention (Systematic Literature Review)
Anxiety among adolescents regarding the use of the TikTok app is an increasingly prevalent phenomenon in the digital age, primarily due to the high intensity of interaction on this short-form content platform. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, following the PRISMA guidelines to ensure the objectivity of document selection. The identification process was conducted using the Google Scholar and Garuda databases, with a publication timeframe restricted to the years 2020 to 2026. Of the 180 articles identified in the initial stage, a screening of titles and abstracts was carried out, leaving 80 articles. Subsequently, an in-depth eligibility assessment was conducted on the full texts, resulting in 20 final articles that met all inclusion criteria. The findings of this study revealed several key points: (1) adolescent anxiety is influenced by internal factors such as Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), social comparison, and the need for digital validation, which are exacerbated by peer pressure and TikTok algorithm features such as the For You Page (FYP); (2) anxiety emerges as a response to sustained psychological pressure resulting from exposure to idealised content and the demand to remain constantly connected; and (3) Guidance and Counselling (GC) services play a significant role in designing and implementing interventions to reduce adolescent anxiety. Implications for BK services suggest that effective interventions include individual counselling to enhance self-awareness, group counselling as a means of sharing experiences and providing social support, and self-management techniques to control social media use. Furthermore, a collaborative approach between counsellors, teachers, and parents is a key strategy in supporting. This study concludes that adolescent anxiety regarding the use of TikTok is a complex issue requiring structured, preventive, and context-specific guidance and counselling interventions.

Integrasi Kearifan Lokal dalam Konseling Modern
Globalization has brought significant changes to the dynamics of individual life, increasing the complexity of psychological, social, and cultural issues faced by clients in counseling services. However, modern counseling practice is still dominated by a universal approach that tends to neglect local socio-cultural contexts, creating a gap between theoretical approaches and clients’ actual needs. This situation highlights the urgency of developing a more contextual counseling approach through the integration of local wisdom. Based on this, this study aims to examine and synthesize various research findings related to the integration of local wisdom in modern counseling practice to obtain a more comprehensive and integrated conceptual understanding. This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were collected through a review of various scientific sources, such as journals, books, and relevant academic documents, and were then analyzed thematically through a process of identifying, categorizing, and synthesizing the research findings. Research findings indicate that the integration of local wisdom plays a crucial role in enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of counseling services. Based on these studies, approaches grounded in cultural values are considered better equipped to meet clients’ needs within their sociocultural contexts compared to universal approaches. Furthermore, this integration contributes to personal, social, academic, and career development through the internalization of values such as cooperation, responsibility, harmony, and moral awareness. This approach also offers a holistic perspective that integrates psychological, social, and cultural dimensions, addressing the limitations of conventional counseling that does not fully consider the client’s cultural context. Thus, the integration of local wisdom not only strengthens culturally responsive counseling practices but also supports the preservation of local cultural values amid globalization.

Implementation of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in Cyber Counseling for Adolescent Anxienty Caused by Sosial Media
Social media has become an integral part of adolescent life, not only as a means of communication and social interaction, but also as a medium for obtaining information, entertainment, and forming and exploring self-identity. The high intensity of social media use is an important phenomenon to study because it has the potential to affect adolescent psychological development, particularly in increasing the risk of social anxiety and emotional disorders. This condition demands adaptive counseling services relevant to the characteristics of adolescents in the digital era. This study aims to examine the role of cyber counseling in managing anxiety in adolescents using the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) approach. The method used is a literature review by analyzing various relevant journals and books from 2020–2025. The results show that cyber counseling is effective in reducing anxiety in adolescents. Virtual counseling services do not diminish the essence of the counseling relationship between counselor and client, but rather allow for interactions that support the process of behavioral change. The REBT approach has been shown to help clients identify, challenge, and change irrational thought patterns that are sources of anxiety, including those triggered by social media use and specific situations. Thus, cyber counseling based on the REBT approach can be an effective alternative service in helping adolescents Suovercome anxiety in the digital age.

Self-Awareness as the Key to Maintaining Mental Health in the Younger Generation
Mental health is an important aspect of the lives of young people, especially amid various demands such as academic pressures, social relationships, and rapid technological development. In facing these conditions, the ability to recognize oneself, or self-awareness, becomes essential. This paper aims to discuss the role of self-awareness as an important factor in maintaining the mental health of the younger generation. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant sources related to self-awareness and mental health. The results of the study show that self-awareness plays a role in helping individuals understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, enabling them to manage stress more effectively, improve self-control, and make wiser decisions. Young people with good self-awareness tend to have more stable psychological conditions. Conversely, low self-awareness can increase the risk of mental health problems, such as anxiety and excessive stress. Therefore, it is important to develop self-awareness through various means, such as education, supportive social environments, and counseling services. Thus, self-awareness can be a key factor in maintaining and improving the mental health of the younger generation.

Coping Strategies of Parents Whose Children Have Experienced a Disaster
The presence of a child brings happiness to parents; however, disasters affecting children can trigger intense emotional distress, including guilt, deep sadness, stress, anxiety, and depression. These conditions may disrupt parents’ mental and physical health as well as their social functioning. Therefore, coping strategies are essential to help parents manage such psychological pressures. This study aims to identify coping strategies used by parents whose children have experienced disasters (natural, Unnatural, and social) using a systematic literature review approach. The analysis was conducted on six relevant studies based on the theoretical framework of Lazarus and Folkman (1984), which classifies coping into problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. The findings indicate that problem-focused coping includes engaging in activities, religious practices, helping others, and advocating for the child, while emotion-focused coping involves seeking social support, accepting reality, maintaining emotional balance, and avoiding negative thoughts. Social support emerged as the most dominant coping strategy and plays a key role in enhancing parental adaptation. It facilitates the integration of active problem-solving and emotional regulation. Therefore, strengthening social support systems is recommended as a primary intervention to improve the well-being of parents in disaster contexts.

Literature Study: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Based Group Counseling Integrating the Philosophical Values of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram to Reduce Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in Adolescents
The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has increasingly emerged among adolescents along with the high intensity of social media use, leading to anxiety, self-dissatisfaction, and excessive behavioral tendencies. This condition highlights the importance of counseling interventions that not only focus on cognitive aspects but also integrate local wisdom values. This study aims to theoretically examine the effectiveness of group counseling using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach integrated with the philosophical values of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram, particularly the concept of the six “sa,” in reducing FOMO among adolescents. The method employed is a literature review by analyzing various relevant scientific sources, including journals, books, and previous research related to CBT, FOMO, and local wisdom values. The findings indicate that CBT helps adolescents identify and modify irrational thought patterns that trigger FOMO, while the six “sa” values contribute to developing a more balanced, moderate, and need-based life perspective. The integration of these approaches provides a more holistic framework in assisting adolescents to manage the urge to constantly follow trends. Therefore, CBT-based group counseling integrated with the philosophical values of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram has the potential to serve as an effective alternative intervention in reducing FOMO among adolescents.

Integrative Model of School and Community-Based Counseling in Supporting Adolescent Mental Health
Adolescent mental health has become a critical issue in education that demands serious attention. As the primary environment for students, schools hold a strategic role in providing counseling services; however, in practice, they still face various constraints, such as a limited number of counselors, restricted service hours, and the lingering stigma associated with seeking counseling. On the other hand, community-based counseling offers a more flexible alternative that is closely integrated into adolescents' daily lives, yet it remains optimally unintegrated with school services. Therefore, an integrative model is needed to bridge and combine these two approaches. This study aims to examine an integrative model of school and community-based counseling in supporting adolescent mental health. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing various relevant scientific articles related to school-based counseling, community-based counseling, and service integration. The results of the study indicate that school-based counseling plays a vital role in early detection and management of student issues, while community-based counseling contributes by expanding service access and providing more flexible support. Integrating both approaches has the potential to create more comprehensive services to support adolescent mental health. However, the implementation of such integration still faces several challenges, including resource limitations, social stigma, and a lack of coordination between stakeholders. In conclusion, collaborative efforts between schools and communities are essential to develop integrated counseling services that support adolescent mental health more effectively and sustainably.

Adolescent Mental Health Risk Factors and Counseling Based Intervention Strategies: A Literature Review
Mental health disorders have become one of the most pressing global public health issues of the 21st century. According to the World Mental Health Report (World Health Organization, 2022), an estimated 970 million people worldwide were living with a mental disorder in 2019, with 82% residing in low- and middle-income countries. Adolescents represent a particularly vulnerable group, as risk factors during this developmental stage have lasting impacts on academic, social, and emotional well-being. This study aims to examine the risk factors contributing to mental health disorders among adolescents and to evaluate the extent to which counseling-based intervention strategies address these challenges. The method used is a literature review of sources from Google Scholar, PubMed, and DOAJ published between 2013 and 2026, analyzed through a thematic approach and narrative synthesis. The findings reveal that adolescent mental health risk factors are multidimensional, encompassing biological aspects as a contextual foundation, psychological aspects such as traumatic experiences and poor stress-coping abilities, and socio-environmental aspects such as poverty, discrimination, and lack of social support. Cyberbullying and uncontrolled social media use have also emerged as new triggers of stress, anxiety, and depression. Counseling-based interventions considered effective include digital literacy education, the integration of technology into guidance and counseling services, and the strengthening of school-based counseling and psychoeducation programs. Schools and school counselors (guru BK) play a strategic role in early detection, prevention, mental health education, and counseling services. However, challenges remain, including uneven distribution of programs, a shortage of school counselors, and weak regulations on digital bullying. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration is key to ensuring sustainability and broader reach. This review is expected to serve as a foundation for developing more comprehensive, locally relevant counseling-based mental health programs for adolescents in Indonesia.

Collaborative Approach Between Schools and Families In Strenghthening Adolescent Mental Health in The Digital Era
Adolescent mental health in the digital era has become an increasingly important issue as the use of technology and social media in daily life continues to rise. Excessive exposure to information, social pressure in the online world, cyberbullying, and the tendency to compare oneself to others can affect adolescents’ emotional well-being, leading to increased stress and anxiety and decreased self-confidence. During adolescence, individuals are in a vulnerable stage of development and therefore require a supportive environment to maintain their psychological well-being. In this context, schools and families play a strategic role as the two closest environments for adolescents. This article aims to examine a collaborative approach between schools and families in strengthening adolescent mental health in the digital era. The method used is a literature review involving the collection, processing, and analysis of various sources, including articles, books, and relevant case studies. Based on the literature review, strengthening adolescent mental health in the digital era is effectively achieved through collaboration between schools and families. Schools play a role through digital literacy programs, mental health seminars, and guidance and counseling services. Meanwhile, families play a role by creating a safe environment, fostering open communication, and providing emotional support that can enhance adolescents’ self-confidence and psychological resilience. The synergy between the two is a crucial factor in helping adolescents navigate the challenges of the digital era.

Duo Baleh Contribution as the Ethical Foundation of Culture-Based Counseling: The Contribution of Minangkabau Local Wisdom to Global Mental Health Practices
The dominance of Western psychotherapeutic paradigms, which are secular and individualistic in nature, often encounters cultural barriers when applied to non-Western societies. This epistemological gap necessitates the development of a more inclusive counseling ethics framework rooted in local wisdom. In contrast to previous studies that tend to position Sumbang Duo Baleh (SDB) merely as local curriculum content in schools or as customary norms limited to prohibitions, the novelty of this research lies in its effort to conceptually translate SDB values into the microclinical ethical constructs of professional counseling practice. This study aims to formulate a culturally grounded counseling ethics framework through a synthesis of literature from seven recent studies. The findings indicate that SDB possesses a comprehensive psychological architecture, encompassing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects that align with self-regulation mechanisms in modern therapy. Summing Kato, Tanyo, and Jawab are translated as assessment techniques and cognitive empathy; Summon Duduak, Caliak, and Bapakaian are formulated as body language ethics to build a therapeutic alliance; while Sumbang Bagaua and Karajo are positioned as principles of professional boundaries and counselor competence. This integration is further supported by the alignment of SDB with the values of Raso Pareso (self-reflection/muhasabah) and the concept of Hayā' (positive modesty) in Islamic counseling. Therefore, this equocultural framework offers a contextual ethical guideline for Indonesian counselors in addressing global mental health challenges without losing their cultural identity.

Raso jo Pareso as an Indigenous Value in Minangkabau Culture: A Literature Review on Counseling and Mental Health
The escalating global mental health crisis underscores the need for culturally sensitive counseling approaches. “Raso jo Pareso” (feeling and reasoning), a fundamental value in Minangkabau philosophy, integrates affective and cognitive dimensions of human life and holds significant potential as an ethical and practical foundation for counseling services and mental health development. The aims of this article are: (1) to describe the values of Raso jo Pareso within the Minangkabau cultural context; (2) to identify the relevance of Raso jo Pareso in counseling services; and (3) to construct a Raso jo Pareso-based counseling framework for supporting individual mental health. A literature review method was employed, drawing on 16 relevant articles and books from various scholarly sources. The findings indicate that Raso jo Pareso shares strong conceptual alignment with humanistic counseling, strength-based approaches, and multicultural counseling. Specifically, the Raso dimension corresponds to counselor empathy competence, while the Pareso dimension relates closely to rational and reflective decision-making skills. The integration of Raso jo Pareso with contemporary counseling approaches is predicted to enhance the effectiveness of mental health services for individuals from the Minangkabau cultural backgrounds and Indonesia’s multicultural society at large.

Self-Awareness as the Foundation of Counselor Multicultural Competence in Raso Jo Pareso Values in Minangkabau
Cultural counseling is a challenge for multicultural societies in Indonesia, particularly in Minangkabau. In traditional values, Raso Jo Pareso defines Raso as an intuitive feeling and Pareso as deep social empathy. A lack of self-awareness can hinder a counselor's multicultural competence. This phenomenon increases bias and ethnocentrism in counseling practice. The main focus of this study is to integrate the values of Raso Jo Pareso in Minangkabau society with counselors based on multicultural competence. This study uses a qualitative methodology with a literature study approach. In the data collection process, several sources were selected from scientific journals or books related to the topic of counselor self-awareness and the values of Raso Jo Pareso. The results of this study show the urgency of counselor self-awareness in the implementation of counseling, which includes the development of empathy in counselors through the values of Raso Jo Pareso. Self-awareness becomes an important and primary pillar of multicultural competence that must be possessed by a counselor.

Analysis of “Barek samo Di Pikua Ringan samo Di Jinjiang” as a Social Mechanism to Support in Mental Health
This study examines the Minangkabau local wisdom philosophy “barek samo dipikua, ringan samo dijinjiang” (burdens are carried together, light matters are shared collectively) as a form of social support mechanism that contributes to mental health resilience. Rooted in communal values, solidarity, and mutual assistance, this cultural principle reflects a collective coping strategy that strengthens psychological well-being among individuals facing emotional, social, and economic challenges. In the context of mental health, social support has been recognized as a protective factor that reduces stress, anxiety, and depression while fostering adaptive coping and emotional stability. This article employs a socio-cultural and psychological perspective to analyze how Minangkabau traditional values function as informal psychosocial interventions within the community. The findings suggest that the implementation of barek samo dipikua, ringan samo dijinjiang promotes emotional connectedness, shared responsibility, collective empathy, and communal resilience, which are essential components of mental health support systems. Furthermore, this indigenous framework can serve as a culturally relevant model for strengthening community-based mental health interventions, particularly in societies with strong collectivist traditions. The integration of local wisdom into modern mental health discourse offers an alternative approach that emphasizes preventive, participatory, and culturally sensitive strategies. Therefore, preserving and revitalizing such traditional values is essential not only for cultural continuity but also for enhancing psychological well-being in contemporary society. This study underscores the importance of local cultural resources as valuable assets in promoting sustainable mental health support.

The Role of Counseling in Addressing Self-harm Through the “Adat Basandi Syarak” Value Among the Minangkabau Youth
The phenomenon of Self-harm among young people is a serious issue, as it is linked to an individual’s inability to manage emotions and psychological stress, and it affects both physical and mental health. Therefore, assistance from counseling services is needed to help individuals understand themselves and find more appropriate ways to cope with the problems they face. This study aims to examine the role of counseling in helping to address Self-harm by integrating traditional values rooted in “Adat Basandi Syarak” among the Minangkabau youth. The method used is a literature review, involving the analysis of various relevant sources. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach, which involves collecting, categorizing, and interpreting the obtained data. The results indicate that integrating “Adat Basandi Syarak” values into counseling can provide a context-appropriate approach, enhance self-control and religious values, and help individuals reduce Self-harm behaviors. Thus, counseling grounded in local cultural values holds significant potential to address Self-harm issues among the Minangkabau youth.

Relevance of Sumbang Duo Baleh Values in Modern Counseling for Shaping the Character of Generation Z
This study examines the relevance of Sumbang Duo Baleh, a Minangkabau local wisdom, in modern counseling practices for shaping the character of the younger generation. There have been shifts in behavioral patterns across generations influenced by digitalization, globalization, and the weakening of socio-cultural control, which potentially erode traditional values. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the values embedded in Sumbang Duo Baleh can be integrated into modern counseling approaches to support character development. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through field studies, including observations and interviews with guidance and counseling teachers as well as students, and supported by literature studies from relevant sources. The findings indicate that although there has been a noticeable decline in manners, respect, and social awareness among students, elements of Sumbang Duo Baleh such as politeness, empathy, and self-control are still present in some individuals. The study also found that the main challenge lies in adapting these traditional values to the characteristics of Generation Z, who tend to prefer flexible digital-based communication and are less receptive to rigid norms. Modern counseling approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and digital counseling platforms, have proven effective in bridging this gap when combined with culturally rooted values. Sumbang Duo Baleh remains relevant as an ethical foundation in modern counseling; however, its implementation requires adaptive, contextual, and technology-integrated strategies. This integration contributes to the development of a morally grounded, socially aware generation capable of facing contemporary challenges.

Enhancing Self-Control through Local Culture-Based Group Counseling for Adolescents to Prevent Cyberbullying in the Globalization Erai
Cyberbullying cases among students continue to increase and cause serious psychological impacts such as anxiety, isolation, and decreased self-confidence. This condition is concerning because the digital space is difficult to monitor, leaving victims without a safe place, even within their own homes. This study used a literature review method by examining previous journals and research relevant to group counseling, self-control, cyberbullying, and local cultural values. The results show that group guidance to address cyberbullying can be effectively implemented through the integration of local cultural values that apply in a region. Cultural values function as behavioral guidelines that are close to adolescents’ lives, making them easier to internalize as self-control in the digital world. The application of Minang local culture as the basic value of group counseling can be implemented for students through 6–8 meetings. Techniques such as rasa jo pareso, traditional musyawarah, kato nan ampek, and malu jo sopan are concrete examples of how Minang values guide adolescents in managing emotions, communicating politely, and being responsible on social media to prevent cyberbullying in the era of globalization.

Tradisi Alek Bakajang Sebagai Model Konseling Berbasis Komunitas Dalam Konteks Budaya Minangkabau
In modern society, social relationships tend to undergo significant shifts. Interactions that were once close-knit have gradually become more distant, including in the Lima Puluh Kota region. Increasing busyness, changes in lifestyle, and the rise of individualistic attitudes are among the main factors contributing to the weakening of interpersonal relationships within the community. This condition leads to various psychological issues, such as feelings of loneliness, lack of social support, and unresolved interpersonal conflicts. Amid these conditions, Minangkabau society actually possesses cultural-based social mechanisms that function to maintain social harmony, one of which is the tradition of Alek Bakajang. Alek Bakajang is a customary activity that involves many members of the community in a collective gathering or celebration. Within this process, intense social interactions occur, including the exchange of ideas and the collective resolution of problems. This tradition not only serves as a social activity but also carries therapeutic values that support individuals’ psychological well-being. Historically, Alek Bakajang is part of the social practices of Minangkabau society that have existed for a long time, evolving from traditions of communal gatherings in customary events, deliberations, and collective celebrations. This tradition is rooted in the Minangkabau philosophy of life, which emphasizes togetherness, as reflected in the principle “duduak samo randah, tagak samo tinggi” (sitting equally low, standing equally high), highlighting equality and solidarity in social life. Initially, Alek Bakajang was not merely understood as a ceremonial event, but also as a space for social interaction that enables community members to exchange ideas, resolve conflicts, and strengthen kinship ties. In this context, the tradition functions as an effective medium of social communication as well as a form of social control that maintains balance within community life Over time, the function of Alek Bakajang remains relevant and can even be understood as a form of community-based counseling or indigenous counseling. This tradition provides space for individuals to express themselves, receive emotional support, and find solutions to the problems they face through a collective approach. Therefore, examining Alek Bakajang as a model of community-based counseling becomes essential, particularly in addressing the challenges of weakening social relationships in modern society. This tradition serves not only as a cultural heritage but also as a preventive and curative strategy in maintaining mental health and social harmony within Minangkabau society.

The Phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) as a Mental Health Challenge for the Young Generation: Integration of Basandi Syarak Traditional Values, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah in Modern Counseling
The development of digital technology has given rise to the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out, which poses a significant challenge to the mental health of the younger generation. Western-based counseling approaches ften face cultural barriers, as they do not fully address the roots of clients' local wisdom. In contrast to previous studies that tend to discuss the philosophy of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah in a normative manner or FoMO solely from a clinical perspective, the novelty of this research lies in its effort to translate these traditional values into clinical psychological constructs. This study aims to formulate an equocultural counseling intervention model through a synthesis of literature from seven recent studies. The findings indicate that ABS-SBK values have the potential to be operationalized into contextually relevant counseling techniques. Raso Pareso is translated as a cognitive empathy technique to reduce upward social comparison, while Baso Basi is formulated as an emotional regulation strategy to manage digital impulsivity. In addition, the concept of qana'ah is understood as a form of mindfulness and an internal locus of control, which conceptually can help reduce dependence on external validation. Thus, this integrative framework offers an alternative approach to counseling assessment and intervention that is more contextually grounded in addressing mental health challenges in the digital era.

Culture and Mental Health: How Counseling Helps Address Stigma and Discrimination Against Minority Groups (Kebudayaan dan Kesehatan Mental
Mental health problems among minority groups are still influenced by cultural factors such as values, norms, and beliefs in society. These cultural perspectives often lead to stigma and discrimination, which can make individuals feel isolated, hesitate to seek help, and negatively affect their mental well-being. This study aims to analyze how counseling can help reduce stigma and discrimination toward minority groups in the context of mental health. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach through a literature review of related sources. The results show that culturally sensitive counseling can help individuals better understand themselves, reduce both internal and external stigma, and improve self-acceptance and social support. In addition, counselors also play an important role in educating society to reduce discrimination. Therefore, counseling can be considered an effective way to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for minority groups.

The results indicate that integrating this indigenous concept allows counselors to move beyond superficial cultural awareness to a deeper relational understanding of clients' lived experiences. The study concludes that Tepa Selira serves as an important indigenous contribution to global counseling practice, providing a structured yet flexible approach to managing cultural diversity.

The Dynamics Of Malapiak Randah Communication And Its Implications For Adolescents’ Self-Concept In Minangkabau
This study aims to examine the dynamics of malapiak randah communication and its implications for adolescents’ self-concept in Minangkabau. Adolescents are in a phase of identity formation and are greatly influenced by their communication environment, whether within the family, the community, or social media. Malapiak randah, as a Minangkabau cultural value, emphasizes humility, politeness, and self-control in communication. This study employs a literature review method by collecting data from various sources, such as books, journals, and previous research. The findings indicate that the value of malapiak randah has two implications for adolescents’ self-concept. On one hand, this value can foster a polite, adaptable character in adolescents and enable them to maintain harmonious social relationships. However, on the other hand, if applied excessively, this value can hinder self-expression, lower self-confidence, and potentially lead to social anxiety. Furthermore, the influence of globalization and social media has also shifted adolescents’ communication patterns toward greater openness and expressiveness. This creates a conflict between traditional cultural values and the need for self-actualization. Therefore, a balanced understanding is required in applying cultural values to support the development of a positive self-concept in adolescents.

Good Practices of BK Teachers in Helping Students (Case Study of the Philosophy of Duduak Samo Randah Tagak Samo Tinggi)
BK services in schools play a strategic role in helping students overcome personal, social, academic, and career planning problems through empathetic and non-hierarchical interactions. The effectiveness of these services is greatly influenced by the approach used by counselors, including the use of local wisdom values such as the Minangkabau philosophy of "duduak samo randah, tagak samo tinggi" which emphasizes equality and appreciation in the counseling process. This approach allows for the creation of a more open atmosphere through non-judgmental communication, the use of open-ended questions, and active and reflective listening skills so that students feel comfortable expressing their problems. However, the practice of BK services in the field still does not fully reflect the principle of equality, so it has the potential to cause a psychological distance between BK teachers and students. Based on these conditions, this study aims to describe in depth the good practices of BK teachers in helping students through the application of the philosophy of "duduak samo randah, tagak samo tinggi" in daily counseling interactions. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with the type of case study, with data collection through interviews with students from MAN 1 Bukittinggi and SMK 1 Ampek Angkek as well as the BK teachers involved. The findings show that the identification of student problems is carried out through two paths, namely student initiative and referral from the school, with a generally calm and non-judgmental response even though it is not completely consistent. The aspect of empathy is seen in the ability of BK teachers to understand the emotional state of students, while the involvement of students in the problem-solving process through dialogue and deliberation still varies. In dealing with conflicts, BK teachers act as neutral mediators with a communicative and empathetic approach, and encourage students to see from various perspectives. The value of equality is also reflected in building interpersonal closeness without ignoring professional boundaries, even though the perception of fairness in students is not yet fully evenly distributed. In addition, the provision of participation spaces through classical and group services strengthens student involvement in cooperation and decision-making.

A Hermeneutic Study of the Minangkabau Proverb “Raso jo pareso” and Its Relevance to Counselor Empathy and Professional Judgment in Global Counseling
Global counseling practice faces increasingly complex multicultural challenges, requiring counselors to balance empathy and professional judgment. However, many mainstream counseling approaches are often less responsive to local cultural values, creating a gap between professional standards and cultural sensitivity. This study aims to analyze the Minangkabau philosophy raso jo pareso and its relevance to counselor empathy and professional judgment in global counseling. This research employs a qualitative approach using Gadamerian hermeneutics, focusing on the interpretation of cultural texts through a dialogical process between local wisdom and modern professional contexts. Data were obtained from authoritative literature on Minangkabau philosophy and contemporary counseling theories. The findings reveal that raso represents the affective dimension aligned with counselor empathy, emphasizing deep emotional sensitivity and cultural humility, while pareso reflects the cognitive-reflective dimension associated with professional judgment, ensuring objectivity, ethical reasoning, and critical reflection. The integration of both concepts forms a dynamic balance between emotional engagement and rational analysis in counseling practice. Raso jo pareso can be reconstructed as an indigenous conceptual framework with universal relevance, offering a culturally grounded yet globally applicable model to enhance humanistic, reflective, and culturally responsive counseling practices.

Culture-Based Counseling Approach: Implementation of Kato Nan Ampek Values in Building Counseling Communication Ethics
This study is grounded in the cultural diversity of Indonesia, which calls for therapeutic approaches that are sensitive to local values. In this context, the research examines the potential of Kato Nan Ampek, a traditional Minangkabau philosophy, as a culturally responsive basis for ethical counseling dialogue. While previous studies on multicultural counseling have largely emphasized general cultural competence, limited attention has been given to the integration of specific local wisdom such as Kato Nan Ampek into counseling practices. This study aims to explore how the values embedded in Kato Nan Ampek can be incorporated into multicultural therapy. A qualitative Systematic Literature Review was employed to synthesize relevant literature on multicultural counseling, character development, and Minangkabau cultural principles. The findings indicate that the four dimensions of Kato Nan Ampek Kato Mandaki, Kato Malereang, Kato Mandata, and Kato Manurun not only function as forms of linguistic etiquette but also shape ethical and empathetic communication in counseling settings. The analysis suggests that the application of these principles enables counselors to adjust their language in accordance with the client's social context, which may help reduce potential cultural bias and misinterpretation, while fostering a more supportive therapeutic environment. Overall, integrating Kato Nan Ampek into counseling practice offers a culturally grounded approach that contributes to the development of ethical interaction and supports clients' psychological well-being in a multicultural context.

Analysis of The Manjalang Niniak Mamak Tradition as an Effort to Increase Prosocial
The Manjalang Niniak Mamak tradition is a cultural practice in Minangkabau society that embodies the values of friendship, respect for traditional leaders, and strengthening social relations within the community. Amidst developments marked by modernization and globalization, there has been a shift in social interaction patterns, leading to a tendency toward individualism. This phenomenon has resulted in a decline in prosocial behavior, such as empathy, caring, and social solidarity, especially among the younger generation. This situation highlights the importance of alternative efforts based on local wisdom to reinstill fading social values. This study aims to analyze the Manjalang Niniak Mamak tradition as an effort to increase prosocial behavior in the community. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive literature study method. Data were obtained from various relevant literature sources on Minangkabau culture, social values, and the concept of prosocial behavior. The analysis was conducted by identifying the values contained within the tradition and their relationship to the formation of prosocial behavior. The research results show that the Manjalang Niniak Mamak tradition contains strong prosocial values, including empathy, social awareness, mutual cooperation, social responsibility, and respect for customary norms and structures. These values are instilled through direct interaction in cultural practices that have been passed down from generation to generation, thus functioning as a means of informal education in shaping individual character. Furthermore, this tradition also plays a role in strengthening social cohesion and maintaining harmony in community life. In conclusion, the Manjalang Niniak Mamak tradition has a significant contribution in increasing prosocial behavior and strengthening social integration in the community. Therefore, preserving and strengthening this tradition is important as a local wisdom-based strategy in facing the challenges of increasingly complex social change.

Migrant Student Adaptation Based on The Minangkabau Philosophy "Dima Bumi Dipijak, Disinan Langik Dijunjuang"
Migrating to pursue education is a phenomenon experienced by some students. Students who migrate often face differences in social, cultural, and customary environments that require good adaptation skills. The inability to adapt can lead to a variety of difficulties, such as feelings of discomfort, loneliness, and difficulty interacting in a new environment. Therefore, cultural values are necessary to guide the adjustment process. One of the relevant values is the Minangkabau philosophy "Dima Bumi Dipijak, Disinan Langik Dijunjuang" which contains the meaning that a person needs to respect and adapt to the norms and rules that apply wherever he is. This study aims to examine the meaning of this value and its role in supporting the adaptation of migrant students. This study uses a library study method by reviewing various relevant literature sources.

The Tradition of Reconstructing the Meaning of Pitih Japuik as a Basis for Intervention in Minangkabau Culture-Based Counseling
This article aims to reconstruct the meaning of "uang japuik" within the cultural framework of Minangkabau society and explore its potential as an intervention in culturally based counseling. "Uang japuik", which is often misunderstood as a materialistic or transactional practice, actually embodies profound philosophical values such as respect, responsibility, family honor, and social harmony within the matrilineal system of Minangkabau culture. This study employs a qualitative and conceptual approach by examining relevant literature, cultural interpretations, and counseling theories to reinterpret the symbolic meaning of this tradition. The findings reveal that "uang japuik" can be transformed into a meaningful therapeutic medium that helps clients understand their cultural identity, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and resolve internal as well as social conflicts. By integrating the values embedded in "uang japuik" into counseling practice, counselors can enhance rapport, reduce client resistance, and promote culturally sensitive interventions that align with clients' belief systems. Furthermore, this reconstruction supports the development of indigenous counseling approaches that respect local wisdom while remaining relevant in modern contexts. The study highlights that cultural traditions should not be viewed merely as static customs but as dynamic resources that can be adapted to address contemporary psychological challenges. Therefore, reconstructing the meaning of "uang japuik" contributes to the advancement of culturally responsive counseling practices and reinforces the importance of integrating local cultural values into mental health services.

The Role of Sumbang Kato and Sumbang Bagaua Values in Shaping Adolescents’ Self-Control in Social Interaction
This study aims to examine the role of sumbang kato and sumbang bagaua values in shaping adolescents’ self-control in social interactions, particularly within the context of Minangkabau culture. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of declining implementation of local cultural values among adolescents due to the influence of globalization, which has an impact on weakening self-control and increasing deviant behavior. This study employs a library research approach by reviewing various literature sources, books, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that sumbang kato plays a role in developing adolescents’ self-control through regulating speech, promoting politeness in communication, and fostering the ability to manage emotions. Meanwhile, sumbang bagaua contributes to guiding adolescents’ social behavior by encouraging them to choose healthy social environments, maintain appropriate interaction boundaries, and act in accordance with cultural and moral norms. The integration of these two values is proven to be an important guideline in shaping adolescents’ character with strong self-control. Therefore, strengthening and revitalizing sumbang kato and sumbang bagaua values should be carried out through education and social environments to ensure their relevance in facing the challenges of modernization.
