Although adolescence is considered a healthy time, many health issues are of concern, including mental health issues. Reports indicate that one in five adolescents experiences a mental health problem, most commonly depression or anxiety.This education aims to increase the understanding of young women about the importance of consuming iron (Fe) and folic acid tablets every month. This community service program was held at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Balikpapan, and involved distributing educational booklets to 34 participants, followed by a question-and-answer session. Through education and counseling, the young women were given an understanding of the benefits, how to use them, and the importance of regularly consuming iron and folic acid tablets. The results of the community service demonstrated increased knowledge and awareness among young women about the importance of maintaining reproductive health and preventing anemia. Therefore, this service is expected to have a positive impact on the health of young women and reduce the risk of anemia in this group.
