A negative self-concept is a condition in which a person tends to view themselves badly. In general, children in conflict with the law tend to have a negative self-concept. Psychoeducation is one of the effective intervention methods to improve self-concept, through cognitive readiness by providing new understanding and information. The purpose of this study was to improve self-concept in children in conflict with the law by providing psychoeducational interventions. The subjects of this study were children in conflict with the law in Children's Social Home X, with total of 17 boys. The research method used is an experiment with the type of design in the form of a one group pretest-posttest design.
