School Health Unit (UKS) is conceived to accommodate children's problems, either physically, psychologically, emotionally, morally, or spiritually. However, in its implementation, the majority of UKS in schools tend to handle physical complaints rather than provide more holistic services. The purpose of this commmunity-empowerment activity was to increase the role of nurses in the physical and mental health promotion of school children by examining the UKS role in Elementary State School (SDN) 01 Limo. The community-empowerment activity carried out included the provision of material about growing children both physically and mentally, training parents to communicate assertively with the child by responding positively to the child's emotions. Before the activity was implemented, 60 respondents were measured for their ability to handle the material and the assertive communication. By using the Paired T-test, the result of a significant influence on the improvement of knowledge, attitudes and psychomotor with pvalue = 0,000 (P < 0.05) was obtained. The respondents’ knowledge increase by 6.51 points, psychomotor 5.73 points, and attitude 2.46 points. It was concluded that mental health promotion efforts incorporated in UKS should be continued as the flagship program of SDN 01 Limo.

Aim: The study aims to compare Polish methods of health promotion and prevention (prophylaxis) of mental disorders among children and adolescents with solutions have their effect in other countries when assessing the effectiveness (in both groups). Material and methods: Based on legal acts concerning mental health protection and data on preventive programs conducted both in Poland and in other countries, not only the methods of operation and the differences between them were compared but also recommendations were made regarding making possible changes to the current activities in Poland. Results: In territorial self-government units, where help is offered mainly to teenagers, introducing the intervention may be too late. Besides, due to the limited number of places offering such aid, incl. municipal programs, the issue emerges – concerning the ensuring of appropriate preventive measures – which results in the deterioration of the situation in this age group category and eventuate in the escalation of the current situation. Conclusions: To prevent the widespreadness of the disorders mentioned above, it is necessary to modify and extend the scope of preventive measures and activities regarding mental health promotion in Poland.
