摘要：AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of teaching coping strategies on the mental health of male adolescents of 13-17 years old, living in boarding houses. The sample group was chosen randomly and mental health questionnaire (GHQ) was administered to both groups as pre-test. After scoring the questionnaires, those with lower mental health were chosen and divided randomly into control and experimental groups. 10 sessions were allocated to teaching coping strategies. Finally, post-test was administered to both groups. T-test was used to analyze the data and findings showed that teaching coping strategies to adolescents was effective on enhancing their mental health. Moreover, this study showed that teaching coping strategies to adolescents reduced their depression and anxiety and enhanced their social functions.
