In mental health, primary prevention aims to prevent mental disorders before they occur. It focuses on reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors in the general population or in at-risk groups. This is achieved through strategies like mental health promotion (building resilience, coping skills), public education to reduce stigma, and creating supportive environments (e.g., anti-bullying programs in schools, workplace stress management initiatives).
