The community service activity aims to enhance knowledge, awareness, and family communication skills in the digital era among residents of Rancabango Village, North Subang. The activity began with a pre-test questionnaire to measure participants' initial understanding of verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as the utilization of digital media in family interactions. Pre-test results showed that 66% of participants had not yet understood the concept of family communication formally, and only a small portion utilized digital features for emotional communication in daily life. Through a series of interactive counseling sessions, practical training, and simulations (role play), participants were equipped with knowledge and healthy communication skills within the family. Post-activity evaluation through post-test demonstrated significant improvement, with 85% of participants understanding the concept of family communication and being able to recognize the role of verbal and nonverbal language, as well as the impact of gadget use. A total of 76% of participants showed increased emotional awareness toward their partners and children, while 70% were able to apply digital communication techniques such as the use of emoticons and voice messages appropriately. The findings indicate that participatory counseling has proven to have a real impact on forming healthier family communication patterns, while simultaneously playing a role in preventing domestic conflicts and divorce.
