This article presents the experience of an Occupational Therapy group, the 'Pacto Trabalho'. For six years, the objective of this group has been to propose possible ways of generating income, by collectively discussing issues related to work together with the participants in a socially vulnerable situation associated to mental health problems. The work-in-progress method, borrowed from the field of the arts, was used to collectively develop, operate and construct these interventions based on individual demands, but oriented towards the construction of a collective device. Considering that work is a core issue in the subjective constitution and social life, actions were taken and partnerships were made, mainly through the articulation with several networks directly linked to projects of income generation, and social, health, transportation and legal action support networks. The complexity of the participants' lives, marked by fragilities, required multiple supports.
