The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a positive mental health program for adults, designated Mentis Plus+, in community. Our hypotheses are: 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.

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.

RECRUITINGPositive Mental Health Questionnaire (PMHQ) - moment 1
The PMHQ consists of 39 items. In the PMHQ, values between 39 (minimum value) and 156 (maximum value) can be obtained, and higher the value obtained, lower the positive Mental Health level is. Therefore, we can categorize different levels of Positive Mental Health: High level or Flourishing (Results between 39-78), Intermediate level (Results between 79-117) and Low level or Languising (Results between 118-156).
Time frame: PMHQ will be applied in the baseline of the Mentis Plus+ Program, to both groups
Positive Mental Health Questionnaire (PMHQ) - moment 2
The PMHQ consists of 39 items. In the PMHQ, values between 39 (minimum value) and 156 (maximum value) can be obtained, and higher the value obtained, lower the positive Mental Health level is. Therefore, we can categorize different levels of Positive Mental Health: High level or Flourishing (Results between 39-78), Intermediate level (Results between 79-117) and Low level or Languising (Results between 118-156).
Time frame: PMHQ will be applied up to 18 weeks of the Mentis Plus + Program,to both groups
Positive Mental Health Questionnaire (PMHQ) - moment 3
The PMHQ consists of 39 items. In the PMHQ, values between 39 (minimum value) and 156 (maximum value) can be obtained, and higher the value obtained, lower the positive Mental Health level is. Therefore, we can categorize different levels of Positive Mental Health: High level or Flourishing (Results between 39-78), Intermediate level (Results between 79-117) and Low level or Languising (Results between 118-156).
Time frame: The PMHQ will be reapplied for follow-up of the evaluation, after completion of the study, on average 3 months, in both groups
Psychological Vulnerability Scale (PVS) - moment 1
The PVS is a six-item scale. Each item is measured in a scale Frequency Likert five points (1-5), where a higher number corresponds to greater frequency (does not describe me at all = 1 to describes me very well = 5). Possible total scores range from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater psychological vulnerability. greater psychological vulnerability.
