The experience with volunteer and collaborative work in mental health and psychosocial car

The Working Group on mental health and psychosocial care produced 18 technical documents and organized a national course with over 60,000 registrants during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Juliana Fernandes Kabad authored a paper describing the experience, which involved a network of 117 researchers and 25 institutions. The work aimed to provide rapid responses for health services by systematizing evidence on mental health in public health emergencies.
