It is difficult to find properly structured and validated positive mental health promotion programs aimed at adults that are based on a well-founded theoretical model. So, it is crucial to explore and identify the components needed for the creation of a modular program to promote positive mental health in adults, based on Teresa Lluch Multifactorial Model. To this end, 4 studies were carried out. Study 1 consisted of a systematic literature review and allowed the conclusion that there were no positive mental health programs based on the Positive Mental Health Multifactorial Model duly validated for implementation. Study 2 made it possible to conceptually validate the positive mental health program designed and named Mentis Plus+. Study 3 assesses the levels of positive mental health of university students in Portugal, potential users of the Mentis Plus+ Program. Study 4 shows the proposed study protocol to assess the effectiveness of the Mentis Plus+ Program. Furthermore, a Support Manual was prepared and published, which served as an aid to the courses given to health professionals to acquire skills in the application of Mentis Plus+ through the systematization of written sessions.
