The study examined the relationship between Social-Emotional skills and Adolescent Well-Being among Secondary School Students in Delta Central Senatorial District, Delta State. The research used a correlational survey design with a population of 20,000 secondary school Adolescent students. The sample size included 500 secondary school Adolescent students chosen using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected using the "Social Skills, Emotional Skills, and Adolescent Well-being Questionnaire" (SSESAAWBQ). The research questions were addressed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, while the hypotheses were tested using linear regressions at a 0.05 significance level. The findings indicated a positive impact of social skills on adolescent well-being among secondary school students in the Delta Central senatorial district. However, no significant relationship was found between emotional skill and adolescent well-being. The study concluded that social skills significantly correlate with student well-being, while emotional skills do not. Based on the findings, schools were recommended to implement programs to enhance students' social competencies and incorporate comprehensive programs that integrate social and emotional learning.
