Keywords: adolescent, mental, religion, worship Introduction
Basically, adolescence is the final developmental phase of the child phase. Children and adolescents as the next generation face challenges in today's modern era.1 The results of previous studies and references show that adolescents need self-control to think, behave and act. One of these self-control is religion.2 If children and adolescents are able to display behavioral habits that are in accordance with the norms, values, and rules that exist in society, the adolescent can be said to obey and have good morals. Meanwhile, adolescents who show behavior that is contrary to the norms, rules, and values that apply in society can be said to have committed immoral actions.3
According to Prihatiningsih & Wijayanti (2019) In Singapore, 12.5% of children aged 6-12 have emotional and behavioral problems.4 In the United States, 1.5 million children and adolescents have been reported by parents to have emotional, developmental and behavioral problems. For example, 41% of US parents fear their child has a learning disability, and 36% fear depression or anxiety.5 According to Riskesdas (2018), in Indonesia the percentage of mental disorders is 13.5%, this mental disorder ranks first
150 6.2%.6
The Muslim personality is the ultimate goal of any Islamic education effort, starting from an early age until old age. Therefore, the personality expected by Islam is the personality of every individual Muslim in accordance with Islamic norms. Personality does not occur or form all at once, but through a longlife process. So, education has a big role in shaping the Muslim personality. Personality is divided into two, namely the human personality which includes the personality of the individual and the ummah (people;
social) and the divine personality (revelation). The process and effort of forming a Muslim personality is carried out with education both individually and in groups, and therefore, through the educational dimension.

Analysis of Mental Health Guidance Strategies by Boarding School Teachers in Aceh Besar During the Pandemic13

Education Journal of Counseling Guidance, Vol. 7, No. 1, 2022.
1. The caregivers of students in dormitories in general have shown their understanding of the notion of mental health. In essence, these caregivers are able to explain the notion of mental health even though it has not been fully regulated. However, their understanding of the need for mental health coaching in hostels gave rise to various answers. Among them there are those who argue that the hectic activities in the pesantren have been able to overcome the mental health of the students. However, the rest believe that mental health development needs to be implemented for students who live in dormitories.
2. In implementing mental health coaching programs. The caregivers do not have full authority in deciding what activities can help foster mental health of students in dormitories. They must first submit it to the leadership of the pesantren because the whole policy is in the hands of the leadership. So far, the coaches have only

ensured that the existing activities and routines run well. If there are additional activities, it is the result of consultation with the management who are there. In general, these caregivers do not have the ability to create special programs for mental health development.
3. Supporting factors in the implementation of mental health development in Islamic boarding schools are very adequate. Like a multimedia room. Spacious field, adequate place of worship. All of them have been very supportive to apply mental health coaching to students. While the inhibiting factor in this implementation is the minimum available time because of the dense activities that already exist in the pesantren.

From the explanation of mental health and how to take care of mental health of adolescents in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, it can be concluded that, the current pandemic greatly affects the development and mental health of adolescents, so it is very important to know how to maintain mental health. There are many ways to maintain adolescent mental health, such as providing briefing on mental health, conducting counseling for adolescents affected by Covid-19 and students conducting volunteer activities to provide counseling on mental health to the generation of adolescents affected by Covid-19. As a student of Islamic psychology at IAIN Kediri, I really hope for the awareness of the younger generation to maintain mental health and hope that this scientific journal can be used as a learning medium.

The Corona virus pandemic can certainly cause fear and panic. Moreover, the recommendation to stay at home and the social distancing policy, which is now called physical distancing, have more or less created an emotional distance between family, friends, co-workers, friends, or community members in places of worship who can support each other. For adolescents, this can be felt as a very big pressure or burden.
If not controlled, this pressure will have a negative impact on mental health. Adolescents

Result and Discussion
Islamic worship that improves mental health, morals, and behavior, spurs the growth of emotional intelligence in children and adolescents. In this regard, the role of parents in children's emotional growth is needed so that the supervisory and motivational functions operate properly because it is parents who can accompany and grow children's intelligence as much as possible.
Based on the results of the qualitative data analysis obtained above, it can be concluded that there is a tendency for a positive influence between the implementation of worship on mental health in adolescents to achieve the criteria of mental health, especially on the principles of mental health regarding the relationship between humans and their environment (hablum minannass) and the relationship between humans and their God (hablum minaallah). Relates to mental health and morality in individuals. Moral contains values and norms that are sourced from the human conscience. In addition, morality includes three elements, namely behavior, cognition, and affection. In terms of morality, it departs from the teachings of monotheism, appreciation and experience of Islam. And because of that, with an increase in Islamic worship to children and adolescents, it is felt that they are able to show an increase in the ability of cognition, affection, and moral behavior of children and adolescents.
Conclusion

Implementation of worship in the context of Islam such as the application of time of remembrance, reading the Qur'an, especially prayer is a way to achieve good mental and physical health in adolescents to grow the potential of good adolescent as a generation of the nation in developing regional potential towards a more prosperous Indonesia. superior and better.
