ABSTRACT = {The purpose of this study was to examine indicators of forgiving behaviour and intervention among adolescent students in Junior High School in Bimbilla in the Nanumba North Municipality of Ghana. This study adopted the Pragmatist philosophy. The mixed methods experimental design was used for the study. The study population comprised all adolescents in Junior High Schools in the Nanumba North Municipality of the Northern Region, Ghana. Purposive, random sampling techniques Krejcie and Morgan's table of determination of sample size were used for the schools and respondents for the study. Two major instruments were used for this study: a questionnaire and an interview guide. The interview schedule was used to gather the qualitative data whereas the quantitative data was gathered using the questionnaire. The study indicated that both the REACH model and Process model are efficacious in reducing the level of depression among adolescent students when their levels of forgiveness are increased through forgiveness counselling regardless of gender and age. The findings also revealed that both REACH and Process models were good interventions for the adolescents in showing greater emotional regulation (increased forgiveness, reduced anger and reduced depression, enhanced sense of well-being, positive feelings and positive thoughts towards the offender). It is recommended that counsellors organise training programmes with parents in conjunction with Non-governmental organisations on using the Process and REACH models. This will bring awareness of the interventions and encourage parents to seek assistance anytime their adolescents need assistance. It is once again recommended that teachers and school administrators consider forgiveness interventions (the Process model and REACH model) as a very effective strategy for treating unforgiveness to improve students' psychological well-being.},
