City government prepares trauma healing

In addition to addressing the physical condition of the victims, the Pariaman City Government is also considering psychological support.

This measure is intended to prevent students from developing trauma toward the MBG meals.

Yota said they will coordinate with psychologists at RSUD Sadikin to provide support and motivation to the students.

"Yes, we will also relay this to the doctors at RSUD Sadikin, especially the psychologists, to motivate the children so they don’t develop trauma toward the MBG food," he said.
