Abstract: The ageing population phenomenon has led to an increase in the elderly population in Indonesia, often experiencing a decline in psychological well-being such as depression, stress, and loneliness due to physical, cognitive, and social changes. The purpose of this community service is to enhance the psychological well-being of the elderly through group activity therapy based on occupational therapy. The occupational therapy include crafting handmade items from beads, partnering with Sasana Tresna Werdha Ria Pembangunan involving 8 elderly participants (7 males and 1 female), with evaluation through behavioral observation during the activity and post-activity interviews. The achieved results demonstrate a 100% improvement in hard skills of fine motor abilities (all participants completed crafts neatly) and soft skills in social interaction and positive emotional expression compared to initial feelings assessment.
