The Psychosocial Care Model, public policy on mental health in Brazil requires interdisciplinary and intersectoral practices producing autonomy and citizenship. This model had strong inspiration in the Italian model. This study aimed to investigate the structure and functioning of a mental health team of Trieste, Italy, whose network services is considered an international reference. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine professionals. The audio-recorded interviews were transcribed and qualitatively analyzed. Results pointed out that the population coverage of the service, number of professionals, territorial and service actions organization, frequency and quality of the meetings are essential resources. The central axis of the work is the existence of multiple discussion spaces for staff and users, which enhance practices centered on the person and in the territory. The process of continuous reflection is based on non-specialistic actions and the discussion about everyday practices.
