Abstract

This paper is an experience account of the family health team from the municipality of Vicentina-Mato

Grosso do Sul State/Brazil. It objectifies to point out the team’s contribution to promote mental health through sociofamily

integration of the mental patient. It was evidenced that, by delivering care to a mental patient, fear and prejudice

were overcome by the team in relation to the patient. Thus, it is expected to contribute directly for the increment of mental

health actions in Family Health Teams and consequently for the change of the mental health care delivery model in Brazil,

and the consolidation of the Psychiatric Reform assumptions.
