Promote a critical and updated reflection on the articulation between the Family
Health Strategy and the Psychosocial Care Center, demonstrating its importance and
the problems faced by analyzing articles on the articulation between these two specialized
services, providing a better understanding of the subject and emphasizing the
need for research in this area of activity. We opted for a qualitative approach, because
of a literature review of contemporary scientific articles relevant to the theme, taken
from the bases of Lilacs and Scielo to compose the theoretical framework. There are
several obstacles to the articulation work between the two service networks. It makes
necessary to build a structured and adequate knowledge to meet the complexity of
the demands of those who seek help from both devices for comprehensive health monitoring
mental, being necessary to resort to the matrix. It was concluded that in the
organization of the mental health network, the relationship between CAPS activities
and the FHS appears more as theoretical principles and not as they should occur in
daily life, demonstrating that there is still a gap between the guidelines proposed by
the health policy, mental and concrete practices.
Key words: Mental Health–Health Strategy–Psychosocial Care.
