| Abstract |
The global economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 has had a negative impact on B40 households in Malaysia, resulting in increased unemployment, poverty, and crime. Therefore, efforts are needed to empower the B40 families in the country. The aim of this research is to develop a psychoeducational module that can improve the well-being and functioning of B40 families as well as the development of youth.
Methodology: This research includes four methodological stages: (i) needs assessment (psychological well-being, concerns, resilience, and family functioning); (ii) design and development of the module; (iii) trial/implementation of the module; and (iv) module evaluation.
Study Findings: The results of the research are expected to increase knowledge on the well-being and functioning of families, particularly marginalized groups (urban B40 households) that have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: LPPKN can utilize the results of this research to strengthen family and community development initiatives, particularly focusing on the psychological needs of urban B40 families, in line with the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK-12). |
