Abstract	This study investigates the impact of family support on the mental well-being of deaf adult learners studying in higher educational institutions. Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method design, data was collected from 60 deaf students through surveys and analyzed using chi-square and correlation methods. The findings reveal that family support significantly enhances mental well-being, contributing to emotional stability, resilience, and self-esteem. While demographic factors like gender and type of family showed slight variations, family support remained the most influential factor across all groups. The study underscores the importance of familial relationships in fostering psychological health and academic success for deaf learners. Recommendations include promoting inclusive policies, accessible mental health services, and family involvement to create a supportive academic environment.
