Abstract

This paper is based on an intervention project developed for the Stage Supervised I and II discipline, by the Service Social course from the Universidad Federal do Pampa – UNIPAMPA, São Borja. The project was implemented in the elementary school Franco Baglioni, situated in the rural area of São Borja-RS. During the process, topics of discussion such as Mental Health Prevention and Promotion, alcohol and other drugs were discussed among the school’s students. That awakened interest to keep researching about the subject, so that in this paper topics like those will be explored. Such as: Collective Health, Sanitary Reform, aspects of CAPS AD- São Borja institution and also the Social worker’s work within these contexts. Thus, along with a multidisciplinary team, we aim to contribute for the access to better life conditions to the individuals, the quality of the service, the prevention and promotion of Mental Health. Therefore, this research aims to highlight the elements of health practice under the legal circumstances that protect the way they must be carried out and what that brings to its target audience.
