This is a report about an experience engaging both mental health and work in the context of a Family Health Unit, which is the main policy to enable basic health care in the Unified Health System. It was developed during a psychology internship. The objective was to report an experience in a Family Health unit, based on an organizational diagnosis with emphasis on the work of the community health agent. The method used was the participant observation, followed by two meetings, which allowed the reflection on the difficulties of the team, as well as the expansion of the discussion within the scope of management. The reflections on the power of qualified listening in the attendance and teamwork, along with the possibilities of support through the Matrix Support, and the importance of communication in relation to management provided the most relevant results. The intervention was considered positive, since it opened favorable possibilities at work, even preliminarily, with requests for the continuity of the work.

Keywords : Work; Mental Health; Family Health Strategy.
