The current study aimed to examine the efficacy of Life Skills Training in Mitigating Emotional Dysregulation in Youth with GAD. The Positivism Research philosophy was used. Therefore, the researcher used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design. Forty (40) adolescents (16–19 years old) diagnosed with GAD, included in the study from Sarhad Hospital for Psychiatric Diseases, Peshawar, and The Center for Psychotherapy and Psychiatry, Peshawar, participated in the study. The sample was equally divided into the control and experimental groups. Pre-tests and post-tests were used as research tools for data collection. An Independent sample t-test was applied. The result indicates that a reduction of GAD was found in EG after life skills training as compared to the participants who were included in the control group.
