RODRIGUES, Ariana Campana. Building a collective device in Mental Health workshops. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.1, pp.100-117. ISSN 2238-152X. https://doi.org/10.22456/2238-152X.89628.
This article presents an account of professional experience in which a device called "Occupational Life Worksheet" was collectively developed to monitor and analyze the work and health production of people with mental disorders during their work on employment and income generation workshops in Núcleo de Oficinas de Trabalho. To narrate this experience we opted for the cartographic method. During the process of responding to a questioning about the mission of health equipment, in addition to reflecting on the progress of the patients, the team of professionals also produced meanings for their own work. The possibility for the professional team to think about their own work, the perspective of interdisciplinary actions, the improvement of professional team and the visibility given to the patients care are results of the development process of this worksheet. The discussions aim to contribute to the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform.
