The accumulation of numerous personal, family and social pressures in the life of teenagers can lead to psychological and social traumas. This highlights the need to pay attention to research in the field of coping methods appropriate for different religious and social cultures. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of religious coping training on mental health and cognitive emotion regulation in adolescent girls. The research design is "semi-experimental" and the statistical population includes 45 teenage girls referring to the counseling center in the education department. The participants were selected based on available sampling. After a diagnostic and explanatory interview session, a pre-test - mental health and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ) - was implemented. After examining the results of the tests, 24 people with the lowest scores were randomly assigned to 2 experimental and control groups of 12 people. For the experimental group, eight religious coping skills training sessions were conducted. Then, to compare the effect of this intervention, a post-test was given to both groups. Multivariate covariance analysis (0.90) showed the significance of education in the cognitive emotion regulation factors. Also, in the variable of mental health, the value of 0.81 shows that religious coping training improves mental health.
