Program implementation is carried out through 2 types of approaches, namely counseling activities, and training or performance (demonstration). Counseling provided to the community includes counseling on stunting, early marriage and a clean and healthy lifestyle. While for training activities, namely training in making complementary food for ASI and performance in making a family medicinal plant garden (TOGA) and several other related activities. The activities that have been carried out have succeeded in encouraging the Pene village community to pay more attention to the growth and development of their children as an effort to prevent stunting, promote a clean and healthy lifestyle for the village community, and make young people aware of the potential problems that can arise as a result of early marriage. In addition, the family medicinal plant garden is used as an educational medium for school students and villagers in optimizing the use of residents' yards.
