Abstract
Due to the increasing need of adolescents’ mental health services through the school system, school personnels have an important role in identifying the early warning signs of an emerging mental health condition and linking them with suitable mental health services and support. The present study aims to investigate the mental health condition of Pesantren students using Goodman’s SDQ to 256 students. Semi-structured interviews with four teachers are been conducted to gain their views about students’ mental health. The result indicates that emotional and hyperactivity/inattention problem have the highest mean score 8,88 and 8,59 respectively. Female has higher emotional problem (9,52) than male students (8,24), whereas class 3 Junior high school has the highest score among the other age groups (9,27). Education embedded in Pesantren develop students’ positive conduct, peer relationship, and prosocial behavior. However, Pesantren needs to support students to be aware of and learn to control their emotion.
