Abstract
According to the Ministry of Health 3% of the general population suffer from serious or severe mental disorders and more than 12% require some care in Mental Health. In this context, this study attempts to identify risk factors for mental health disorders in family environments. This is an exploratory descriptive study with a quantitative approach, which was conducted by retrospective analysis of cadastral records of 22 families served by an extension project. It resulted that a sedentary lifestyle is a major factor, followed for feeling anxious, disturbed sleep pattern, risk for situational low self-esteem and feelings of powerlessness. Conclude that the results of this research may point a direction to the need for mental health care focusing on prevention of risk factors, as well as contribute to the discussion about simple care strategies such as home visits.
