Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. compared with the wait-list control group, the persons who join the experimental group and participate in the Mentis Plus+, will have more positive mental health on the end of the program;
2. in the Mentis Plus+ participants, positive mental health will be increased at the end of the program and at follow-up (three- six months later) and their psychological vulnerability will reduce.

Participants integrate the Mentis Plus+ program
Mentis Plus+ Program was developed based in The Multifactorial Model of Positive Mental Health and its construction resulted from a systematic literature review and validation through focus group. The duration of the Mentis Plus+ program depends on the number of the six factors to be worked on. The Mentis Plus+ lasts at least 7 weeks (1 session per week, lasting 1 hour) and can work individually or in groups (2-12 people). There will be 2 initial sessions of 1 hour each and 3 sessions for each factor to work with duration of 1 hour. Still, a final session and a follow-up session (3-6 months after the program) will be held.
Mentis Plus+ (Experimental Group)
Each factor can be considered a module, so it is a modular program. So, each module has 3 sessions to be carried out in full. It is a systematic program, so the order of the sessions is regulated by the letters A, B and C for each module. The modules to be worked on correspond to the "low-level or languising" factors identified after the application of the positive mental health questionnaire (PMHQ). After the application of the PMHQ, people are grouped with the same module to work.
Participants on a waiting list (Control Group)
Participants in the control group were told they were on a waiting list for 3-6 months, as a minimum, before they integrate the Mentis Plus+ program. Given the preventive nature of this study, a waiting list control group won't bring risks or damages to participants
