Summary:ABSTRACT Elderly is someone who has entered the age of 60 years and over. Elderly is an age group in humans who have entered the final stage of their life phase. In the elderly, individuals experience a lot of problems, generally the elderly feel anxiety, loneliness, reduced emotional stability, and also experience dysfunction in their organs. This is because the elderly have physical limitations and have had traumatic experiences such as losing their family, children, spouse, and so on. Elderly community groups deserve the attention of all elements of government and the surrounding environment, but in reality elderly community groups are often ignored, and forgotten. Psychosocial support is needed to maintain emotional stability in the elderly and prepare for death. The provision of physical training in the form of elderly exercise and psychoeducation is given to encourage the elderly to remain happy and empowered even though they are no longer at their productive age. Keywords: Gerontic Psychology, Elderly, Psychoeducation   ABSTRAK Lansia merupakan seseorang yang telah memasuki usia 60 tahun keatas. Lansia merupakan kelompok umur pada manusia yang telah memasuki tahapan akhir dari fase kehidupannya.Pada masa lansia individu mengalami banyak sekali permasalahan, umumnya lansia merasakan kecemasan, kesepian,  berkurangnya stabilitas emosi, dan juga mengalami disfungsi terhadap organ tubuhnya. Hal-hal tersebut disebabkan karena lansia mempunyai keterbatasan fisik, serta mempunyai pengalaman yang traumatis seperti kehilangan keluarga, anak, pasangan, dan seterusnya. Kelompok masyarakat lanjut usia sudah sepatutnya menjadi perhatian oleh seluruh elemen pemerintahan maupun lingkungan sekitar, akan tetapi pada realitanya kelompok masyarakat lanjut usia sering kali ditepikan, dan dilupakan. Dukungan psikososial sangat diperlukan demi menjaga stabilitas emosi lansia, dan bersiap untuk menghadapi kematian. Pemberian latihan fisik berupa senam lansia dan psikoedukasi ini diberikan guna mengajak lansia untuk tetap bahagia, dan berdaya sekalipun tidak lagi berada pada usia produktif.
