Summary/Abstract: In the scientific literature, mental health is often defined in terms of individual well-being. It is emphasized that in order to achieve it, it is necessary to possess certain resources that constitute a kind of health potential. The richer the resources, the better an individual overcomes current challenges and copes with difficult experiences. This article presents the results of research aimed at determining the perception and assessment of resources possessed by individuals using psychological assistance. A qualitative strategy has been used in the research and the collective case study method has been applied. On the basis of the research conducted, conclusions referring to mental health promotion have been formulated, with the emphasis on the educational aspects of potential promoting actions.
