 The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness skills training on adjustment and mental health of students. The statistical population consisted of all female students of vocational schools in District 2 of Qazvin in the 2014-2015 academic year, 40 of whom were selected as the sample using cluster random sampling method and randomly assigned to the test and control groups. Then, participants in the test group received mindfulness skills training for eight weeks. Participants of both groups filled out the Adjustment Inventory for School Students and mental health questionnaire before and after the training. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using ANCOVA. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the test and control groups in terms of the mean scores before and after the training. Accordingly, mindfulness skills training improved the adjustment (emotional, educational, and social) and the mental health of students. Therefore, it can be concluded that mindfulness skills training can be applied by instructors, counselors, and therapists as a method which improves the adjustment and mental health of students.
