This study aims to determine the mental health condition of students in terms of the role of emotional regulation and social support. This study used a quantitative approach with a sampling technique in the form of accidental sampling and involved 290 students in grades 7 and 8 at a MTsN 'Z' in Blitar Regency as participants. The results showed that 32% or a total of 91 students had a low level of mental health. The results of this study also found that emotional regulation was able to predict mental health by 13.3% (estimate = 0.637, p 0.001), social support was able to predict mental health by 25.4% (estimate = 0.756, p 0.001) and social support was able to be a partial mediator in the role of emotional regulation on mental health (estimate = 0.268, p 0.001). Furthermore, the significance value obtained for the indirect effect was less than 0.001 (p 0.05) which means significant, with a mediation percentage of 42.1%. The direct effect also obtained a significance value of 0.001, indicating significant, with a mediation percentage of 57.9%. The conclusion of this study is that social support can partially mediate the role of emotional regulation on the mental health of students.
