Mental health problems affect children and adolescents all over the world. Therefore, the aim of this research is to evaluate the model of mental health based on the parenting styles and religiosity of parents with the mediating role of religiosity. The research method is "descriptive", of the path analysis type. In order to conduct the research, 374 high school students of Karaj city were selected in 2018-2017 by "cluster sampling " method. They completed the questionnaires of "Religiosity", "Mental health", "Parents' religiosity" and "Parenting styles". The results of the correlation coefficient showed that parents' religiosity and "authoritative" parenting style have a positive and significant relationship with mental health. However, the two "permissive" and "authoritarian" parenting styles had a negative relationship with mental health. The highest correlation was reported between parents' religiosity and mental health. Also, the mediating role of religiosity was significant in the relationship of the variables of parents' religiosity and authoritarian parenting style with mental health. Results show that choosing the appropriate style of raising children and parents' religiosity can have an effect on people's mental health.
