Kesehatan mental siswa SMK menjadi isu penting yang menuntut intervensi efektif dari guru Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran guru BK dalam menangani permasalahan emosional siswa serta merancang model layanan inovatif yang mengintegrasikan pendekatan konvensional dan digital. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi pustaka. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan empatik guru BK, kolaborasi dengan wali kelas, serta pemanfaatan teknologi seperti aplikasi konseling berbasis web/mobile dapat meningkatkan deteksi dini dan intervensi psikososial. Model layanan yang diusulkan memungkinkan siswa mengakses bantuan secara fleksibel, aman, dan sesuai dengan karakteristik generasi digital. Selain itu, keterlibatan Peer Support Group (PSG) yang terstruktur dan pelatihan daring dapat memperkuat dukungan emosional sesama siswa. Dengan pendekatan ini, diharapkan tercipta budaya sekolah yang lebih responsif, kolaboratif, dan inklusif dalam menjaga kesehatan mental siswa SMK secara berkelanjutan.
The mental health of vocational school students is an important issue that demands effective intervention from Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers. This study aims to examine the role of BK teachers in dealing with students' emotional problems and design innovative service models that integrate conventional and digital approaches. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results showed that the empathetic approach of BK teachers, collaboration with homeroom teachers, and the use of technology such as web/mobile-based counseling applications can improve early detection and psychosocial interventions. The proposed service model allows students to access assistance flexibly, securely, and in accordance with the characteristics of the digital generation. Additionally, structured Peer Support Group (PSG) engagement and online training can strengthen the emotional support of fellow students. With this approach, it is hoped that a school culture that is more responsive, collaborative, and inclusive will be created in maintaining the mental health of vocational school students in a sustainable manner.
