Dysmenorrhea is often known as menstrual pain or painful menstruation. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia reaches 98.8% in adolescents. Menstrual pain has a direct negative impact on adolescents' quality of life. Complementary therapies have been used by 15.5-79.3% of adolescents and have been proven effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea, including warm compresses, herbal remedies, mineral water, and relaxation. However, in reality, this therapy is not yet widely understood by the community, as it is still considered impractical and time-consuming to prepare. However, the benefits are safe and easily obtained, with no side effects, so education is needed. A preliminary study conducted informed that adolescent girls only experience rest or sleep while rubbing eucalyptus oil and drinking warm water for treating primary dysmenorrhea. There is a lack of information from health workers about complementary therapies, and the absence of peer counselors. The purpose of this community service is to socialize a peer counselor program regarding use of complementary therapy to treat primary dysmenorrhea. The implementation of the activity is in the form of peer counselor training. The activity was carried out on 22 female adolescents at SMAN 7 Jambi City from September 2024 to February 2025. The target output was to increase the knowledge and skills of peer counselors. Monitoring and evaluation of activities with a one group pretest and posttest design approach. The results of the community service showed an increase in knowledge of 63.6% and an increase in dysmenorrhea management skills with complementary therapies including warm compress therapy (72.7%), relaxation therapy (86.4%), and herbal therapy (63.6%). The formation of peer counselors at SMAN 7 Jambi City is expected to provide education and initial treatment for other peers or female adolescents who are experiencing primary dysmenorrhea
