Grupo de saúde mental com servidores de uma UBS do Distrito Federal: relato de experiência

Abstract

This text aims to make an experience report of a resident of psychology from the Federal District in the participant conduct of a mental health group with employees of a UBS. The infection by COVID-19 started in December 2019, and a pandemic state was declared in March 2020. With the spread of cases in the Federal District, the importance of creating a mental health support group for public health professionals was verified. The group was composed only of women, on a weekly basis, lasting one hour. It was noticed that the main themes addressed by the participants were: social distance from family members and significant people; being a health professional during a pandemic; main feelings of health professionals related to the pandemic; mutual support from UBS professionals. It can be seen that from the participants 'report and from the residents' experience, the group's development in the mental health care of these professionals was of great importance. It was possible to offer a space for listening, welcoming, and reflection for the participants. It is important that strategies like this and others are adopted in the mental health care of health professionals.
