Abstract

This study aims to report the main difficulties of families and individuals with mental disorders identified during home visits. It’s part of an Extension Project that began in 2008 and attended 11 families. During the visits we used a semi structured questionnaire, and the data analysis was conducted by the use of the content analysis technique, in which three categories were identified: families’ lack of knowledge about the symptoms and treatment of individuals with mental problems, difficulty in achieving and maintaining employment; conflicts in relationships with overload and lack of family support. It is concluded that through home visits it was possible to know the context in which the family is included,recognizing the possibilities and necessities of each family, enabling its members to confront and to make life adaptationsin the face of the mental disorder.
