In psychotherapy research, mindfulness has been conceptualized as a facilitator to enhance self-awareness thoughts in order to promote overall well-being. Mindfulness is a quality of consciousness that is targeted to paying attention to the present moment without judgment, and is related to many components of psychological health and well-being. The aim of this research is to identify the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive group therapy on improving overall well- being among high school female students in Varamin County in year 1394.For this purpose, in a semi-experimental study with pretest – posttest, and control group, 30 students who were identified as having poor overall well-being were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for eight ninety-minutes sessions and the control group did not receive any treatment. Data analyzing using multivariate analysis of covariance showed that there is significant difference between overall well being and its components (psychological, social, and emotional) in experimental and control groups (p<0/01), and that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy could promote overall well being among high school female students.
