Adolescence is a period of transition, marked by physical, cognitive, and psychosocial transformations, therefore, the development of health-promoting elements for these individuals is important. The objective of this paper is to carry out an integrative review based on the guiding question: "what characteristics of group health promotion programs are aimed at adolescents?", between 2008 and 2018. Searches were carried out in the SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, and PsycInfo databases, in the month of July 2018, using the keywords "teenager", "mental health", "health promotion", "group", and "program". As a result, 17 articles were included, presenting interventions based on different specific theoretical approaches and themes, with a predominance of social and life skills. Weekly meetings and programs lasting at least seven sessions in a school environment and without the participation of parents or guardians predominated.
