It is a qualitative and exploratory research evaluation carried out with professionals from a CAPSad in the city of Sant’Ana do Livramento whose data were collected in the month of September of the year 2018, through the technique of Narrative Focus Group (GFN). To perform data analysis, the content was transformed in group narrative. In view of the results, the discussion was pointed out regarding the perception of figure of the harm reducer and its interrelation in the daily routine of the mental health clinic, presenting powers and challenges. The importance of the role that the reduction of damage occupies within the scope of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, considering the uniqueness of the subject and guaranteeing the fundamental rights of the citizen.
