This study aims to explore the role of gratitude in supporting adolescent mental health in South Kalimantan. Using quantitative methods by distributing Likert scale questionnaires to adolescents aged 17-20 years, we analyzed the correlation between gratitude and various psychological aspects such as life satisfaction, optimism towards the future, anxiety, stress, social relationships, and ability to face challenges. The analysis found that gratitude has a significant role in increasing life satisf levels. In addition, gratitude has a positive impact on strengthening adolescents' social relationships and helping them to better cope with life's action and optimism in adolescents, and plays a role in reducing anxiety and stress challenges. This research focuses on the importance of gratitude as a protective factor in adolescent mental health and its implications for psychological interventions among young people.
