title: [Primary prevention program in mental health].
abstract: This article makes reference to the mental health Primary Prevention Program that is carried out at the "Yugoslavia Health Center", in Guadalajara City, in Mexico. It explains the origin and evolution of the program contents and its aim is to permit each one participating in the group dynamics--which are used as the work instrument--to discover himself as a bio-psico-social unit. The article mentions the theoretical-practical bases of the work and the place and method of carrying it out. From the results obtained one may conclude that it does not produce curative effects but it does provide support to the healthy areas of the personality and improves the interpersonal relationships.
