The community approach within a District Mental Health Care Team: a psychosocial intervention with women

Abstract

In this article we describe a series of psychosocial interventions with women, framed within health education and developed by a District Mental Health Care Team. This intervention was carried out with women members of agrarian and housewife associations. Through parallel conferences and talks, the interventions were spread out over our geographical district. At the same time, some preliminary reflections are also presented in an attempt to operationalize the idea of «community».
