Beginning of adolescence period is marked with puberty and ends with the attainment of physical maturity (Gautam & Madnawat, 2019). During this period, adolescents face too much stress and strain in their lives. Due to these changes in circumstances social support is an important aspect that helps the individual to get out of his turmoil. Social support is a complex, multidimensional construct that is comprised of a set of related, but distinct constructs (Gautam & Madnawat, 2019). It plays a significant role in the Emotional Health of Adolescents. Emotional Health is an emerging concept in the field of Clinical and Health Psychology and focuses on the overall wellbeing of the person (Gnana & Rani, 2018). Thus, the present research focuses on finding out the relationship between Social Support and Emotional Health of adolescents. The sample comprised of 100 adolescents with the age-range of 16-19 years. The tools consist of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Assessment by Zimet et al., (1988) and Psychological Well-being Scale by Sisodia & Choudhary (2012). Results showed that there is a positive association between social support and emotional health of both boys and girls.
