Abstract
Aims: Previous mental health research has often treated counselors and students as distinct entities, resulting in a lack of comprehension and knowledge at the university level. This study aimed to investigate efforts to enhance mental health literacy in university settings by examining the interaction between student initiatives and counselor strategies.
Participants & Methods: An exploratory qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions as data collection tools. The participants were chosen using a purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria.
Findings: The findings revealed three categories of student initiatives (self-initiative, peer-initiative, and collaborative initiative) and various counselor strategies (education and information, counseling and mentoring, and collaboration with stakeholders). The synergy between these two entities forms an educational and collaborative interaction pattern that fosters mental health advancement.
Conclusion: There are three practical measures to enhance students’ comprehension and awareness of mental health, including prioritizing mental health in new student orientation programs, creating collaborative mental health initiatives, and encouraging student engagement in developing mental health programs within the university environment.

Abstract
The fast advancement of information technology is reported to have a profound impact on various aspects of the community, including the agriculture sector. On the other hand, the millennial generation who are sensitive to technological advances are reportedly less interested in agriculture. Apart from that, millennial farmers also have not optimized the use of information technology to market their agricultural products. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that encourage millennial farmers in Central Java to use information technology in marketing agricultural products using a Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) approach. The location and samples were purposively determined in Central Java. A total of 120 millennial farmers were included in the sample population, and data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The findings indicated that behavior intention to use information technology were influenced by performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions, then, behavior intention would influence use behavior. Based on these findings, motivation and self-confidence need to be instilled to accelerate the adoption of innovation and technology towards modern agriculture. This research will be useful for the government in creating a program or policy.
