The INFAD Association of Psychology and Education, in cooperation with several other partners, especially the Family Law Centre, Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra-3004–545 Coimbra. Email: cdf@fd.uc.pt http://www.centrodedireitodafamilia.org has participated in the ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME KA220-VET. Project Number| PT01-KA220 - VET- 000028146. A Project that has allowed us from INFAD to intensely approach the topic of “Psychology meeting health”; “I didn’t find psychology so healthy”; “Psychology meeting health”. For INFAD, this and other already completed Erasmus + projects are and have been of vital importance for their contribution to the field of science and to the society to which we owe ourselves, providing efforts and conclusions,such as those we present in this Project Information-Presentation. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes mental well-being as a fundamental component of health and places it as one of the main concerns for the coming years (Mental Health Action Plan, 2013-2020). Mental health is being the subject of significant investments from all states in the world, with strategies that empower people to maintain healthy behaviours related to mental health, improving the quality of life (WHO) and reducing the psychosocial risks of mental health disorders. This is also a concern of the member states in their national mental health strategies (Portuguese National Mental Health Program - Priority Health Programs 2020 Goals) and in the production of legislation that specifically refers to the balance between work and life and the reduction of psychosocial risks.
