چکیده
OBJECTIVES We describe a school program based on a student manual for promoting mental health and preventing mental illness. METHODS A preliminary version of the manual was assessed for face validity by two focus groups. The final version was evaluated for acceptability among 253 students in 10 high schools and 1 middle school in Italy. RESULTS The manual included 18 chapters (or "units") which address skills for enabling students to cope with their daily lives: communication skills, problem-solving, assertive skills, negotiation, stress management, anger management and conflict resolution. The manual was found to have been acceptable by high school students. CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness of the manual in actually promoting mental health and preventing mental illness is currently being evaluated.
