This paper aims to analyze these interventions from the perspective of the Psychology contributions to collective health actions on the primary care level. These interventions were recorded and submitted to qualitative analysis. Attention was given to the managerial dimension of work when addressing the participation in planning and executing the matrix support, intersectoral articulations, community approaches and shared services. Thus, the professionals' practice knowledge was incorporated into the construction of health actions. The results indicate the strengthening of the regulatory capacity of workers and understanding the unique ways of life of users, as well as the enhancement of teamwork. It is concluded that the valorization of the workers' point of view on their work contributed to enhance the health promotion and prevention actions offer.
