Introduction In recent years, mental health has become a more prevalent concern.
The global Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in various effects, encompassing both detrimental and beneficial outcomes.
Regarding health, individuals currently possess a heightened awareness pertaining to both physical and psychological well-being.
The prevalence of mental health awareness is on the rise due to the expanding utilization of social media platforms to conduct mental health campaigns (Narayanan SP.

In Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, the educational landscape is undergoing radical transformations.
Both students and teachers are expected to possess the necessary skills to engage in online learning, despite the fact that they may not have previously encountered such circumstances.
One of the challenges encountered in implementing distance learning is the presence of constraints related to gadgets and internet Despite the numerous benefits currently observed, students experience a multitude of challenges in the context of online learning.
Online learning can be a source of stress for students due to several factors, including limited technological proficiency, inappropriate learning materials, and diverse learning cultures (Rahmawati and Sujono, 2.

International Conference of Psychology UAD The Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated the implementation of online schooling, resulting in numerous constraints on students' ability to cultivate their skills and broaden their experiences.
Consequently, this has led to a multitude of challenges among students.
The presence of limitations on physical activity diminishes the opportunity for students to engage in social interactions within the school environment.
It has been observed that students exhibit an inclination for intensified anger, a tendency to remain close to their parents due to increased time spent at home, and a diminished sense of independence resulting from heightened reliance on parental figures, eventually resulting in deviant behaviors (Prastiwi 2.
According to Purwanto et al.
, using online learning poses challenges for students regarding their ability to absorb information effectively.
The primary factor contributing to students' feelings of stress in online schooling is the combination of insufficient understanding of the subject matter and the limited time available for completing assignments (Oktawirawan 2.
Students' psychological state indicates that the pandemic has had a significant psychological impact on them, as negative emotions are more prevalent than positive ones.
Students ag Grade XI have attended online school for more than a year, so new students do not know their classmates, instructors, or school environment.
As a result, new students face more significant difficulties adjusting to this situation.
Most adolescent students' developmental tasks, particularly the search for identity, take place in the school setting.
Rapid physical and mental development during adolescence necessitates mental adjustments and the formation of new attitudes, values, and interests.
Adolescence is distinguished by a period of swift physical and cognitive growth, necessitating psychological adaptations and the establishment of new perspectives, principles, and passions (Hurlock 2.
The discrepancy between the roles and interests of adolescents and the expectations of their social group can potentially give rise to new problems within the surrounding environment.
SMA X, similar to other educational institutions in Indonesia, has been impacted by the ongoing pandemic.
The findings from interviews conducted with teachers specializing in Guidance and Counseling revealed that many students in the eleventh grade encountered psychological The pandemic situation further intensified this issue, leading to a sense that the problems were too much for the school to handle.
SMA Negeri 1 Ngemplak attempted to mitigate the psychological problems among its students through personalized student communication, home visits, parental communication, and counseling sessions.
However, the outcomes have not exhibited substantial positive changes as the problems persist.
Many students encounter many kinds of challenges, including .
a lack of clarity regarding their educational objectives, as evidenced by the numerous complaints from students about online .
Students often struggle to establish positive connections with their immediate surroundings, frequently embroiled in conflicts with teachers and parents.
Students' ability to cultivate independence is hindered, as they frequently rely on external assistance to complete their academic tasks.
Personal growth is disrupted as students exhibit a reluctance to engage openly with novel experiences, such as the transition to online schooling.
Students exhibit a lesser capacity to adapt to their circumstances, as evidenced by their frequent complaints regarding the current pandemic, which hinders their physical ability to attend school.
Students demonstrate a diminished ability to effectively navigate their surroundings, as indicated by their lack of effort in capitalizing on the educational opportunities provided by their teachers, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes in many students.
Based on the problems students encounter, it is possible to determine whether they experience a lesser psychological well-being or low psychological well-being.
According to Ryff .
, psychological well-being is a person's ability to develop six aspects of psychological wellbeing: the ability to interpret his life goals, the ability to build positive relationships with others.

Promoting psychological well-being in adolescents allows the cultivation of positive emotions, leading to increased levels of life satisfaction and happiness.
Additionally, psychological well-being serves as a protective factor against the development of depression and deviant behavior among adolescents (Akhtar and Boniwell, 2.
Hence, enhancing and sustaining psychological well-being holds significant importance, particularly among adolescent students, as it aids in cultivating positive emotions and mitigating the risk of more severe mental health issues, such as depression.
Mindfulness training, emotional intelligence training, peer group counseling training, and other training are among the many efforts designed to improve adolescents' psychological wellbeing in Indonesia.
However, no game-based training has been specifically designed to enhance adolescents' psychological well-being.

The Hexa Personality refers to six aspects of personality that must be developed in order to improve psychological health.
'The Hexa' means six, and 'Personality' is an abbreviation of Ryff's .
six aspects of psychological well-being: purpose in life, positive relationships with others, self-reliance, personal development, self-acceptance, and environmental mastery.
This alternative solution employs Bronfenbrenner's ecological system approach (Kloos et al.
, demonstrating that individuals are affected by their That is why the treatment in this study using The Hexa Personality Method targets not only students but also the students' environment, including parents, instructors, and the school environment.
This study aims to examine the efficacy of the hexa personality method in enhancing and sustaining students' psychological well-being by fostering the development of six dimensions of psychological well-being.
An additional objective is to impart knowledge and foster comprehension among students, parents, teachers, and the school environment regarding psychological well-being.
