| COURSE OBJECTIVES
The lack of information about mental health is one of the biggest obstacles to early intervention, hence the importance of programs that promote information and detection of signs among adolescents in a school context (O'Neill, 2013; Ozer & Schotland, 2011 ). It is estimated that 10 to 20% of children have one or more mental health problems. This scenario reveals the need to promote the health and well-being of young people through projects developed and implemented in schools. To achieve this, the participation of teachers and other professionals who work in schools is essential. The development of programs that support them in creating projects that promote the participation of young people, parents and the entire community is essential to make the school an environment that promotes well-being in adolescents (Tomé et al., 2018). Teachers are essential professionals in recognizing signs of possible mental health problems among school-age youth (Armstrong, Price & Crowley, 2015).
