Mental health problems have a high prevalence worldwide, being one of the main complaints of users who seek Primary Health Care services in Brazil. Establishing a resolute care network for users with mental suffering is an arduous task and implies a complex interrelation between the different levels of care, services, health strategies and psychosocial factors. In this context, the present study presents an intervention project to improve and expand the mental health care offered to users diagnosed with mental disorders, in the community served by the Patient Care Team, at the Antônio Barbosa de Menezes Health Center, in the city of Belém, countryside from Alagoas. The study used the Situational Strategic Planning as methodology; the exposed data were collected through the SIAB and team meetings. The proposed project seeks to remedy the critical points that interfere in the quality of life and health of users with mental suffering, through the implementation of a comprehensive and intersectoral care network, through instruments such as: the Project Live Much Longer; the Live and Share Program; the Care Line Project: Mental Care and the Knowledge of the Mind Project. The intervention proposals presented in the present study are feasible and will help not only to improve the health services of the municipality, promoting a dignified and effective treatment, but also to transform the quality of life of the entire community, especially users in mental suffering, who will actively contribute to the construction of their care as protagonists of it.
