Abstract

NOGUEIRA, Francisco Jander de Sousa  and  BRITO, Francisco Marcos Gomes de. Dialogues between mental health and primary health care: a Brazilian educational program for health work case report. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp. 374-387. ISSN 1809-8908.

The aim of this paper is to report the experience of members of the Educational Program for Health Work (PET-Saúde), Psychosocial Care Network, in a Primary Health care facility in the city of Parnaíba, Brazil. The experience enabled participants to observe the challenges in creating comprehensive mental health care, in the implementation of the effectiveness of care strategies and care technology deployment, such as the Multiprofessional Support, and the difficulties of professionals in primary care when working with Health Mental Care. Through participant observation, which supposed homecare, intersectoral and multidisciplinary meetings, and co-responsibility for the cases, it was possible to know the psychosocial care network and understand the processes which lead to fragility and non-effectiveness of the proposals of the Brazilian psychiatric reform in local reality. There is a need for a cultural change in the sense of incorporating a psychosocial vision.
