Abstract

This monograph aims to study the trajectory of mental health policy and the importance of Social Service. It analyzes the historical transformations of this policy in Brazil, thus addressing the role of social workers. The work highlights the importance of the Psychiatric Reform in Brazil and the current mental health policy and the demands presented to Social Services. It is the result of bibliographical and documentary research on the topic. It addresses milestones in the social context, in the history of health and mental health policy and how these points are linked, and in short they are fundamental, in addition to explaining the history of social service activities in mental health and the current demands and main changes in their actions. Thus, we observed that there were indeed very important transformations in mental health policy and in the performance of social services, but there is still a long path of struggle for the rights conquered to be implemented and for new changes to take place for the construction of politics and a better society. Conscious and inclusive.
