Abstract: Introduction: Occupational diseases significantly impact the daily lives of workers, recognized as health issues by the World Health Organization (WHO) following exposure to occupational hazards. Throughout and post-pandemic, the mental health of healthcare professionals has deteriorated, posing challenges for both the workers and their support staff. The occupational health nurse emerges as a crucial ally, particularly in addressing the needs of these professionals. Objective: To report on the experience and contributions of the occupational health nurse in mental health care. Methodology: Descriptive account of the organization of occupational mental health work in a public hospital in southern Brazil, with a focus on the role of the occupational health nurse. Results and discussions: Providing comprehensive support to colleagues is challenging, and the occupational health nurse plays a pivotal role in welcoming distressed professionals, offering care, planning actions, and providing support that strengthens bonds. The team must be prepared to offer necessary assistance, recognizing that the initial reception shapes future actions. Final considerations: Training and a differentiated perspective are essential to enhance services, ensuring the safety of the worker. The occupational health nurse can be instrumental in improving these services.
