The objective of this paper was to describe and analyze the articulation between children and adolescent mental health care interventions undertaken by teams working under the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and Psychosocial Care Centers for Children and Adolescents (CAPSI). In order to achieve these objectives, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five CAPSI and 13 FHS managers from five different regions of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The 18 interviews were transcribed and analyzed froma hermeneutic perspective. It was found that interactions between the FHS and CAPSI occur mainly through referral of cases, matrix support or partnerships in cases concerning CAPSI. Obstacles, such as a lack of human resources, productivity goals and lack of training in mental health of FHS professionals were mentioned. The referral system and passing responsibility for mental health cases to specialized services and the hegemonic biomedical model and the fragmentation of care are common place in these services.
The objective of the article is to report an experience of partnership between a Psychosocial Care Center and three teams of the Family Health Program in the central region of São Paulo city. theoretical concepts like territory, subject, subjectivity/collective, receptiveness, bond, co-responsibility as well as the psychiatric and sanitary reform principles are the base and guide of this work. The partnership aims the promotion of mental health care based on articulated actions from different services. This way, the PSF's and mental health's workers are responsible for the demands of a territory. The strategies used in this partnership were meetings with both teams with training, case discussion about the families assisted, support to workers' difficulties and elaboration of therapeutical projects, and joint domiciliary visits. Some difficulties had been found during the research: great demand for health services and lack of institutional guidelines to guarantee the effectiveness of the partnership. The look directed to the family and the social context presents positive results compared to the look directed only to the illness. The partnership enriches the practice and a larger network of care in the territory becomes possible. It is necessary to bring up new proposals and innovative enterprises.
O conceito de gênero afirma desigualdades construídas socialmente entre homens e mulheres. Este estudo visa descrever e discutir, a partir da perspectiva das teorias de gênero, os lugares dos responsáveis familiares na provisão de cuidados e no sustento material de crianças e adolescentes usuários de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Infanto-juvenil (CAPSi). Trata-se de uma investigação descritiva, de corte transversal, realizada em 19 unidades de CAPSi no estado de São Paulo em 2009. Os dados foram coletados de uma amostra de 921 prontuários, submetidos a tratamento estatístico descritivo simples. A mãe é a principal responsável pelo cuidado em 56,9%(N=517) dos casos, seguidas pelos avós 7,8%(N=71) e pelo pai em 2,5%(N=23). O pai é o principal responsável pela renda familiar, em 20,3%(N=185) dos casos, seguido pela mãe 8,9%(N=81). Grande parte dos prontuários não possui registro sobre este aspecto (49,2%). A mulher se mantém como principal cuidadora, mesmo em casos em que ela é responsável pela renda. Ressalta-se a importância da mãe e da mulher no cuidado aos usuários dos CAPSis, demonstrando a hegemonia da tradicional noção do feminino como lugar do cuidado. O viés de gênero atravessa o campo da saúde mental e, dada sua relevância, deve ser considerado na atenção à população.
