This study is a qualitative exploratory bibliographic survey, with the objective of identifying studies in the Brazilian scientific literature on mental health promotion for the black population in mental health services. Indexed articles and research published in Brazil in the last 20 years (between 2001 and 2021) in the Scielo, LILACS, BDTD and CAPES portals were analyzed. It resulted in the identification of three articles with the desired characteristics, which highlights the limited number of publications on the topic. Problematized in three categories, namely: impacts of racism for the promotion of Mental Health of the black population; awareness of racial discrimination for prevention in Mental Health; possibilities of creating preventive strategies. It was found that care practices need to be articulated with the issue of racial relations, as they are fundamental to the understanding of mental health as multidetermined, since racism has global impacts and affects all structural levels.
