This study aims to analyze the work processes in mental health from the perspective of professionals of Primary Health Care (PHC) of Porto Alegre/RS/Brazil, establishing similarities and differences in the practices developed according to the mode of matrix support: reference teams of mental health and Family Health Support Team (NASF). This qualitative and transversal study was performed in eight units, with the participation of 20 professionals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted which were analyzed through Thematic Analysis technique. It was analyzed that the NASF teams were more present in the units, which contributes to the construction of joint actions with the Family Health Teams. Matrix support has shown to have an effect on the reduction of referrals, on the greater participation of teams in mental health actions and on the increase of the resolution of care. The importance of establishing measures and actions that seek to consolidate all types of matrix support team as a strategy for qualifying mental health care in PHC is highlighted.
