Intervenções territoriais e comunitárias em saúde mental de comunidades tradicionais de Paraty

A collaborative project in Paraty, Brazil, successfully integrated territorial and community-based mental health interventions, addressing socio-economic, environmental, and health dimensions while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030. The initiative, involving residents from a multiprofessional residency program and local traditional communities, employed participatory methodologies such as popular education, action research, and experience systematization to strengthen mental health care networks. Activities included territorial recognition workshops, community dialogues, and interviews, fostering collaboration between formal health services and traditional knowledge systems. This approach enhanced access to mental healthcare while preserving cultural heritage, demonstrating a model for sustainable, community-centered mental health strategies in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
