Bullying in school environments is a serious problem that has a direct impact on students' mental health. Bullying victims often experience psychological pressure such as anxiety, stress, depression, and even loss of motivation to learn. This article aims to examine the strategic role of guidance and counseling services in improving students' mental health through a qualitative approach with a library research method using a questionnaire instrument distributed to students from elementary to high school levels in one of the public schools in Bojonegoro City. This study is based on an analysis of various academic literature sources, including books, journals, and relevant scientific articles.The results of the study indicate that guidance and counseling services in schools have an important role in dealing with the negative impacts of bullying. The results of the study show that most students have experienced or witnessed bullying,either verbally, physically, socially, or digitally, which has an impact on the emergence of anxiety, stress, decreased enthusiasm for learning, and thoughts of avoiding school. Through an individual or group counseling approach, BK teachers are able to help students recognize, manage, and overcome emotional stress due to bullying, and rebuild their self-confidence.In addition, counselors also play a role in creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive school environment, as well as conducting early detection of potential deviant behavior. Thus, the existence of counseling services is not only a curative solution, but also an effective form of prevention against bullying cases in schools.
