Children learn all moral, social, ethical, emotional and intellectual qualities by the family members which help them in overall development. Emotional maturity influences the better personality which helps to have good relationships and lead a happy life. Learning to regulate the negative emotions is a part of the process of developing emotional maturity in a person. Mental health is a combination of personality and behavior on the basis of self adjustment to others and to the environment. Mental health is a state of emotional and psychological health of an individual which is capable of using a person’s cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life. The groups of people who have common ancestors, a common culture and values and live together within the bounded society are called tribe. The tribal adolescents studying in Ashram schools maintain close relationships with their teachers. This type of closeness helps the students in sharpening capacities and to develop full personality. The present study was conducted on 180 tribal adolescents of both the genders. Ex Post facto research design was followed for the study. The sample was collected by random sampling technique and the research was done in Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. Personal information of respondents was collected by using general information schedule. The family environment, emotional maturity levels and mental health status of tribal adolescents was measured by using three scales, namely, Family Environment Scale developed by Bhatia and Chadha (2005), Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Singh & Bharagava (2005) and Mental Health Battery developed by Singh and Gupta (2005). Results on general profile of adolescents showed that many of them were 13 years old studying 8th and 9th grades. The tribal adolescents selected for the study were majorly from nuclear families and from middle income group. Most of the tribal adolescents have exhibited average level perceptions on cohesion, Expressiveness, Conflict, Acceptance- Caring, Active- Recreational orientation and control dimensions of family environment. Most of the tribal adolescents were having high level perceptions about their own self independence and organization dimensions of family environment. Higher number of tribal adolescents exhibited average level of emotional stability, emotional progression, social adjustment, personality integration and independence dimensions of emotional maturity. The study revealed that majority of the adolescents selected for the study were extremely emotionally immature. With respect to mental health status, majority of the adolescents exhibited average level of emotional stability, autonomy, security-insecurity, self- concept and intelligence. It shows that most of the adolescents had good mental health status.

All the dimensions of family environment had positively correlated with all the dimensions of mental health like emotional stability, overall adjustment, autonomy, security and insecurity, self-concept and intelligence. Cohesion and active recreational orientation was highly correlated with intelligence. Emotional stability and independence dimensions of emotional maturity were negatively correlated with overall adjustment with the dimension of mental health. Overall mental health status exhibited negative correlation with independence dimension of emotional maturity.
