Abstract

Objective: to report on the experience of conducting talk about mental health in Primary Health Care with professionals from the Family Health Strategy teams and the management of the Psychosocial Care Policy of a municipality in the interior of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Method: it is characterized as an experience report, from the accomplishment of two wheels of conversation on Mental Health, carried out in the months of September and December of 2017.Results: the mental health care model of the municipality was redirected and there is difficulty on the part of the professionals in the understanding of the flows of the care line, making difficult the perspective of networking and mental health actions in the territory. Conclusion: there is a lack of articulation and dialogue between users, APS professionals and other services that make up the RAPS of the municipality. It is believed that it is necessary to broaden the dialogue among all the actors involved in this context so that a new way of organizing and practicing mental health care can be constructed in the context of PHC, as well as investing in actions such as matrix support interconsultation among others, instrumentalizing the professionals and qualifying the actions on a territorial basis.
