This article discusses the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) as an alternative strategy for proposing solutions to mental health problems according to the Islamic approach. This technique has been applied by researchers to provide solutions to mental health problems among students. The findings of the summary of expert recommendations have identified a total of 12 alternatives and methods in solving mental health problems. In addition, the findings of the study show that the NGT technique has helped researchers to obtain element validation quickly and easily because the elements have been developed through reading the literature and then discussed and voted for expert consensus. Suggestions for further study are suggested to make a better study with the producers of specific modules to solve mental problems in particular.
