This study aims to examine the relationship between the role of guidance and counseling (BK) teachers and the mental health of students at SMA Muhammadiyah Tarakan. The research hypothesizes a correlation between the role of BK teachers and students' mental health. A quantitative approach with a survey method was applied. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to 123 student respondents. The analytical tools included descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis.The findings revealed a positive relationship between the role of BK teachers through social media and students' mental health, although the strength of the Pearson correlation was very weak, with a value of 0.194. This suggests that the more actively BK teachers use social media for guidance, the better the students' mental health tends to be.The study concludes that the role of BK teachers through social media plays a significant role in promoting students' mental health. However, further efforts are needed to enhance students' digital literacy so they can utilize social media more wisely and effectively.
