Considering that the role of emergency and disaster psychology is essential in psychological support, this study sought to analyze the main characteristics of mental health actions in coping with the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic carried out by two public health higher education institutions in Amazonas. This is an investigation of a qualitative, cross-sectional, and documentary nature based on the following axes: organization, prevention and response. The social commitment of educational institutions in working in a network, in an ethical, political and solidary way was perceived in the framework of the collapse of health services in Amazonas.
