Report of an experience discussing the first attempt to bring the mental health and the family health teams close to gether, in a town in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais). Qualifications in mental health are used as resources, parallel to the mapping process and the manufacture of a catalogue of sociocultural resources by community health agents and Psychology trainees. The experience sets the basis for the implementation of Mental Health Matrix Support in the town, and it is critically analyzed nowadays as to the interference of the institutional power and the limit of the qualifications for the transformation of practices.
