  Optimal mental health, understood as the state of well-being in which a person is aware of his or her cognitive abilities, able to cope with normal day-to-day stresses, perform academic tasks productively, and participate actively in his or her community. The aim of this study was to design and implement a 10-week life skills and active lifestyle intervention program (HHVEVA Program), following the guidelines of the Transparent Report of Evaluation with Non-Randomized Designs (TREND), for the acquisition of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills in college students. The proposal is described on the basis of the actions carried out for the elaboration of the program, and how to implement it in university students of different degrees, aged between 18 and 25 years (M = 21.09; SD = 1.8) (11 women and 9 men). The study concludes with the need to develop and implement multicomponent intervention programs for the promotion and improvement of health, integrating emotional regulation strategies, interpersonal skills and the practice of healthy physical exercise in university students.
