Abstract: This article discusses psychological distress from a psychosocial perspective, understanding that mental illness is directly influenced by social, economic, cultural, and political determinants. Social Psychology, as a critical field committed to social transformation, plays a fundamental role in promoting collective mental health, especially in contexts of vulnerability. Through a qualitative field study, the research aimed to understand the perceptions of social psychologists working in urban peripheries. The results highlight the need to break away from assistentialist and individualizing models, reinforcing community-based, collective, and emancipatory practices in the field of mental health.
