Abstract: This chapter presents a section of an intervention-research project aimed at mapping mental health care strategies within the Family Health Strategy (ESF), based on Popular Health Education (EPS). The study revealed that although many professionals were unfamiliar with the formal concept of EPS, they already practiced its principles through qualified listening, individual consultations, group activities, and matrix support. The proposed Continuing Education sought to improve mental health care and highlight local knowledge, strengthening the bond between professionals and users. The experience demonstrated the transformative potential of EPS in promoting more humanized, co-responsible, and context-aware care.
