<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze efforts to build an empowered generation of women through strengthening mental health as a strategy for preventing early marriage. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving adolescent girls and relevant stakeholders engaged in mental health education and early marriage prevention. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings identified three main themes: strengthening mental health understanding, improving self-confidence and decision-making skills, and strengthening family and social support. Mental health education helps adolescents understand the psychological impacts of early marriage and encourages them to consider their readiness before marriage. The study concludes that mental health strengthening and women's empowerment should be integrated into early marriage prevention strategies. Future research should examine the effectiveness of these programs among broader adolescent groups.]]>
