The research approach adopted for the study was quantitative evaluative approach and the research design was true experimental design. The adolescents 76 in the control and 76 in the experimental group were selected randomly and included in the study.

Assertiveness and self-esteem, peer relationship and self-esteem, self-esteem and coping showed a significant correlation (p < 0.001). A significant negative correlation was observed between stress and self-esteem (r = -0.417; p < 0.001). Stress and coping showed a significant correlation at P < 0.05. Thus education and training using comprehensive intervention package was very effective in improving assertiveness, reducing stress, enhancing coping, peer relationship and self-esteem of the adolescents.
