<![CDATA[Adolescent mental health is an important public health issue due to the increasing risk of psychological problems caused by academic pressure, social challenges, and developmental changes. This study aims to analyze the influence of peer social support and coping strategies on adolescent mental health at SMA Negeri 1 Kedungwuni. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 284 students selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using the Peer Social Support Scale, Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS) Short Form, and Mental Health Continuum–Short Form (MHC-SF). Data analysis was conducted through descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation test, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination using IBM SPSS 2020. The results showed that peer social support had a positive and significant effect on adolescent mental health (β = 0.260; p < 0.05). Coping strategies also had a positive and significant effect on adolescent mental health (β = 0.835; p < 0.05) and were identified as the most dominant factor. Simultaneously, peer social support and coping strategies significantly influenced adolescent mental health with an R² value of 0.609. In conclusion, strengthening peer social support and developing adaptive coping strategies are essential approaches to improving adolescent mental health.]]>
