CALIMAN, Luciana Vieira  and  CESAR, Janaína Mariano. GAM in ES: inventions with children, family and workers. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.2, pp. 166-188. ISSN 2238-152X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22456/2238-152X.104628.

In this article, we analyze the experimentation of the GAM Strategy in Espírito Santo. The participatory intervention research with GAM over the course of five years constituted the assembly of three devices. In the field of mental health for children and adolescents were proposed a GAM Group with family members of children using psychotropic drugs and an Atelier with children. The third device involved the broader mental health network, with the implementation of the GAM Strategy carried out by workers, having the University as a partner with the creation of a Collective supervision device. We dimension this experience as the inaugurator of other areas of GAM intervention, understanding that such opening highlights the potential of this strategy and also its greatest challenge: the ability to be reinvented for each situated experience. Each device created has become inseparable in the construction of participation that makes collectives more co-managing and autonomous.
