Terapia Comunitária Integrativa como estratégia de apoio à atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

This article reports on the process of implementing Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) in the Primary Health Care (PHC) of the Health Care Unit XXXXX. The relevance of this work takes place in the sphere of welcoming people in psychic distress who seek support in the Single Health System (SUS). PHC is the gateway to the SUS, a public, universal system, hierarchized in attention levels and that proposes care in an equitable and integral manner. PHC is responsible for coordinating care at all levels of care. From this perspective, TCI, as a community-based and systemic care strategy, will be considered Primary Mental Health Care. The project considers the ICD as a scenario for changing professional practice in the area of mental health and a field of in-service teaching for doctors and resident doctors of Family and Community Medicine and Psychiatry.
