• Abstract:

  Labor relations have been transformed from a class struggle to a union of interests in favor of common goods and values. The parties contribute to the achievement of a prosperous and sustainable work environment. The importance of mental health is analyzed in the context of Vetor Editora e Serviços, in addition to the Adventist Hospital of Belém (Adventist Health). The issue studied raises the following question: how does the right to mental health contribute to the work environment in Brazil, based on NR-1 and the thinking of Ronald Dworkin? The general objective of the article is to observe mental health as an essential part of a healthy quality of life for workers. The specific objectives are based on: mental health as a human right regulated in Brazil; mental health as a duty, based on the dictates established by Regulatory Standard 1; and the legacy of Ronald Dworkin. The results present the new possibilities brought about by NR-1, with each institution responsible for contributing to the mental health of workers. The legacy of Ronald Dworkin is key to understanding NR-1, with contemporary labor law being observed in a sensitive and harmonious manner in relation to the facts presented.
