The Results of Basic Health Research from Ministry of Health of the Republic in Indonesia places Yogyakarta as one of the provinces with the highest prevalence of schizophrenia after Bali, and Sindumartani Village is one of the villages with the highest number of People with Schizophrenia (PWS) in Yogyakarta. The presence of negative stigma from the community and even family members of PWS is one of the crucial obstacles to the PWS healing process. The stigma and low social awareness towards PWS are thought to hamper the process of enriching ODS’ social cognition. Our activities try to provide counseling and education to non-PWS members groups and PWS’ family members so that they can be well literated for schizophrenia with all the characteristics and handling. In addition to the counseling, we educate them by forming a healthy mental alert cadre within the community. In the period after the implementation of the activities, the results showed an increase in communities’ literacy in schizophrenia and a decrease in the prevalence of recurrence in PWS. To improve the sustainability of results, further therapy such as vocational therapy is recommended.
