SOLUTION FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY (SFBT) PADA ORANG TUA ANAK JALANAN DI YAYASAN KOMUNITAS RUMAH ALIF-JAKARTA

The problems faced by street kids are quite numerous and varied. Such as living in inappropriate places, poor family income, unmet living needs, and lack of relationship with parents. Most of their parents do not have a proper educational background, so in educating children they still use patterns of violence without considering the psychological effects on the child. The problems faced by street children cannot be separated from the influence of their parents, so need to involve their parents as the main educators. The purpose of this study is to apply a Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approach to provide understanding to parents of street children at the Rumah Alif Community Foundation in educating and building good relationships with children. SFBT is carried out with an individual approach and strengthened with group counseling. This approach is appropriate because SFBT only takes less time and resources for treatment. Through a qualitative research approach with an interview and observation methods, results described that SFBT can help parents to understand their child's problems, find various alternative solutions and pay attention to the child's psychological side. The relationship between parents and children becomes better so that children become open to their parents.
