This work presents the report of a program on women's mental health carried out at the Hospital das Clinicas. The program was based on the Junguian paradigm, using expressive techincs, myths and fairy tales. The mobilization achieved was brought up by means of images which were the background for the individual stories narrated, for the exchange of experiences and for the sheltering of the group, essencial elements to rescue the recollection of significant events of women's life, endowing the group's repertoire in order participants could deal adequately with their moment of life and lay the foundations for future development.
