Abstract
There is a growing consensus within the scientific community about the importance of mental health promotion. Around one billion people worldwide have a mental disorder, and anyone, anywhere, can be affected (World Health Organization, 2022). It is estimated that one in four people has some mental health disorder. It is widely known that the incidence and prevalence of mental disorders are increasing, on the one hand, due to the social pressure exerted by current lifestyles and, on the other hand, because people do not always have emotional regulation mechanisms and resilience that allow them to adaptively deal with adverse life events.
