Abstract
This paper aims to describe and to analyze the foundation of Forums of the services composing the Network for Psychosocial Care in the territory of a Management District of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is a qualitative study performed with intervention-research from March 2014 to March 2015. To analyze this process, we used field diary as a tool to record the Forums and assessment reports of trainings seminars in mental health, performed with primary healthcare professionals. The Forum arrangement, with professionals of several services, defines a process that aims to join different points in the Network for Psychosocial Care, promoting interlocution among the services and co-responsibility for management-execution of the territory healthcare. From the relations emerged in the Forums, we propose to rethink work processes, questioning the practices and knowledges in health, alluding to Permanent Education in Health as an important strategy in this setting. As initial results, we think the monthly meetings provided reflection spaces and proposed construction of flows and connections among work, management, and Permanent Education, aspects considered inseparable in the public health filed.
