Article Description

Introduction. Education and mental health are closely related. Mental health literacy (MHL) education programs provide knowledge about mental health problems, their prevention, and seeking help. They also promote stigma reduction. The objective of this paper is to identify MHL programs described in scientific publications. Methods: Through the documentary review in the WOS and Scopus databases for the period 2000-2020 with use of Spanish and English terms, 355 articles are initially obtained. After screening them according to the inclusion and eligibility criteria, 44 articles are selected that describe 38 MHL educational programs. Results. According to the target group (students, teachers and other groups), the main characteristics (name, age of recipients, language, duration, methodology, country) of 38 MHL educational programs have been described. Discussion. The programs are very diverse in terms of typology, duration and methodological strategies. Direct contact with people with mental illness is a key strategy to combat stigma, despite its reduced use. The interventions are directed mainly to the adolescent population. Mental health can be promoted through a variety of strategies in educational centers.
