This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of teaching moral concepts in family via Islamic-based storytelling on coping style and mental health of female teenagers. Method: This semi-experimental study had a pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all female students of the secondary schools in Kerman in 2015 and 2016. Through convenience sampling method, 42 students were selected and randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (21 participants in each group). Folkman and Lazarus coping style (WOCQ) and Schutte mental health (DASS-21) were used for data collection. In the experimental group, participants received nine weekly sessions of teaching moral concepts in family through storytelling method while the control group received no treatment. Eventually, the collected data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). All ethical issues were observed in this research and the researchers declared no conflict of interests. Results: The findings indicated a significant and positive difference between post-test scores of the experimental and control groups in terms of problem-focused coping style and  mental health (P<0/001). The emotion-oriented coping styles in the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0/001). In other words, teaching moral concepts in family through storytelling method based on Islamic concepts led to reduction in emotion-oriented coping style, increase in problem-focused coping style and also mental health of teenage girls. Conclusion: Given the importance of emotional control and mental health in adolescents, teaching moral concepts in the family through Islamic-based storytelling can be used to enhance problem-focused copying style and mental health of female teenagers.
