he aim of the study is to find the relationship between
psychological well-being and social support of mothers
having children with disabilities. This study comprised of 112
mothers with disabled children. General health questionnaire -

sample which was selected by purposive sampling technique.
The results indicate that psychological well-being and social
support are inversely co-related. Chi-square values shows

and social support in relation to education of mothers, per-

wellbeing and social support. The study depicts that
psychological wellbeing of mothers might be low irrespective of
the fact that their perceived social support is high. Mothers can

their overall wellbeing through counselling and yoga therapy.

inside a person that makes her to understand the roots of
stress and ensure bliss and happiness for all times to come.
