- Abstract
Optimism is part of positive mental health that is very important for achieving prosperity. Teenagers who have high optimism have a tendency to believe in expecting the best in their lives. But in the social development of adolescents is still questionable. The purpose of this study is to try to find out the experiences of adolescents in the school environment to be optimistic and to be able to inform intervention strategies aimed at improving the positive mental health of adolescents in schools through the online counselling environment approach. This study uses a mixed-method approach with a quantitative primary quasi-experimental strategy. The study sample involved 89 teenage students aged 16-20 years. Findings from the research results show that adolescents have low optimism when online counselling is given, optimism has a positive relationship with mental health. All of these results have implications for online counsellors in the future, especially for treatment in adolescence.
