Penerapan Konseling Kelompok Melalui Teknik Assertive Training Untuk Mengatasi Korban Bullying

Abstract

Bullying is a negative behavior carried out by a person or group to hurt other people with pleasure and is carried out repeatedly so that the victim feels depressed and helpless. One of the reasons someone tends to become a victim of bullying is because they have a low assertive attitude. Assertive attitudes occur in victims of bullying who often feel anxious and do not have the ability to communicate to defend their personal rights. The problem of bullying is a serious problem in the educational environment that must be resolved. There needs to be the participation of various parties, especially guidance and counseling, to help students who are victims of bullying to behave more assertively by using group counseling services with assertive training techniques. Group counseling with assertive training techniques was chosen to create a safe space where bullying victims can share experiences, learn from others, and develop communication skills and as a basis for helping bullying victims respond assertively to bullying situations without harmingthemselves.
