Abstract

Nowadays mental health services seek social inclusion through work. Given this proposal, the objectives of this research were to characterize the functioning of a Work Association focused on users of mental health services, identifying satisfaction and overload of work carried by professionals as well as the conceptions of the workers on the process of constructing the users as citizens. Ten employees of the Association in the State of Goiás took part of this study. They were interviewed and two scales were applied, one on the overload of work, and the other on job satisfaction. It was possible to identify that the Association is organized on the principles of psychiatric reform and that employees are satisfied with the developing work and with low load of work. Among the workers, there is also an understanding of the benefits provided by the association regarding the construction of citizenship.
