Life after the Covid-19 pandemic has brought a transition to life in the digital era. The spread of hoax news on social media have created excessive anxiety about the future, thus disrupting people's mental health (Jannah, 2022). In Indonesia, mental health disorders are most often experienced by Generation Z (Jakpat & GoodStas, 2022). Yogyakarta is a city with a high life expectancy, namely 75.04% (BPS, 2021). This is inversely proportional to the prevalence rate of serious mental disorders which is in the 2nd highest position in Indonesia (Riskesdas, 2018). This research aims to determine and analyze the implementation of mental health services and education. This research uses a mix-method with purposive sampling techniques, through in-depth interviews, mini surveys, FGD and desk review. The results of the research show that the implementation of mental health service in Yogyakarta City has not been running optimally. The factors causing this include socialization regarding the inadequate availability of mental health services and also the availability of professionals and budgets that do not yet support it. This research concludes that mental health is a problem that will have a broad impact on human development, therefore a serious commitment from the government is needed in handling this case. The recommendations proposed in this research are that the government needs to make improvements to mental health services at PUSKESMAS, provide a budget allocation for mental health and encourage the mental health movement in the city of Yogyakarta.
