The college entrance examination has become a major factor affecting the mental health of young people. The objective of this article is to report the experience of applying a brief intervention program for the management of stress and anxiety in senior high school students and present its preliminary results. Psychological evaluation tools were used to analyze anxiety, depression, hopelessness, stress and repertoire of social skills, applied to the 12 participants before and after the intervention, composed of six group sessions. The results and report of the participants recorded during the sessions were promising, indicating improvement in the symptoms of some participants, although these data should be analyzed with caution.
