The aim of this research was to understand the importance of mental health nursing consultation in Primary Health Care. A qualitative, descriptive approach was used with seven participants; the nurses who made up the Family Health Care Strategy Team linked to a Health Care Center. Data were obtained from interviews and from a discussion group. All of the nurses considered mental health nursing consultation important as a monitoring strategy, for strengthening the link with the patient throughout the care, for extending nursing participation in case discussions with the multi-professional health team and because it contributes to resolving mental health cases.
