Description
Summary:This research had as objective to investigate the matrix support in mental health in Primary Health Care and the articulation with the Health Care Networks. This is a qualitative research conducted with matrix supporters, such as psychologists and psychiatrists. The instruments used were semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Content analysis in the thematic modality was used to treat data.  The results show the personalized relationships and the work style of the teams as immaterial resources that sustain the work; the strength of matrix support in Family Health Units; the need for systematic longitudinal support; and coordination as a facilitating factor for decentralization in mental health. The results also show the existence of three types of networks - centralized, decentralized and distributed. We conclude that the immaterial networks constructed in the communities through the relations and interactions established between professionals and users overlap with the established formal networks and present potential life production.
