This study aimed at understanding and describing the ambience of health care services for children and adolescents with severe mental disorders at CAPSi, focusing on the physical aspects of this concept. This clinical-qualitative study was carried out at the CAPSi - Children and Youth Psychosocial Care. Data collection employed the participant observation technique. The results showed that the spatial make - up of a health care service can influence this practice. The ambience at CAPSi, in its physical elements, occasionally enabled significant communication among children and adolescents
