This work aims to present perceptions about the care of adolescents in mental health crisis in a general hospital. This is an experience report in which a qualitative methodology was used, seeking to transpose observations learned from every day reality, based on a critical conception of mental health. The discussion points out some aspects as challenges to be faced from the observation of care and manage-ment in mental health of adolescents in the hospital context, as well as recapitulates obstacles, barriers, bureau cracies of access, communication difficulties between the mental health care networks of the adolescent. From the observations, it is noted that there is a need for continuing education policies, professional training, approximation with the population via matrix support, need for monitoring and evaluation of the actions of the children’s and youth care network.
