The present study examined the effects of an emotional intelligence (EI)-based training program on emotional intelligence and mental health outcomes among secondary school teachers and students in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. The study addressed whether the EI-based intervention improves emotional intelligence and reduces psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, while enhancing overall wellbeing (emotional, social, and psychological). A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing participants who received a structured EI training program with a control group. The intervention was based on Goleman's mixed model of emotional intelligence, focusing on four core domains: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Participants were assessed at multiple time points using standardized measures of emotional intelligence, anxiety, depression, and mental health continuum. The study also incorporated a follow-up assessment to examine outcomes over time. The findings aim to contribute to understanding the role of emotional intelligence in promoting mental health and to inform school-based psychological intervention strategies.
